C# Signature:
[DllImport("setupapi.dll", CharSet = CharSet.Auto, SetLastError = true)]
public static extern bool SetupFindNextLine(ref INFCONTEXT ContextIn, out INFCONTEXT ContextOut);
VB Signature:
Public Declare Auto Function SetupFindNextLine Lib "setupapi.dll" (ByRef ContextIn As INFCONTEXT, ByRef ContextOut As INFCONTEXT) As Boolean

Notes:
Parameters
| ContextIn | Pointer to the INF file context retrieved by a call to the SetupFindFirstLine function. |
| ContextOut | Pointer to a variable in which this function returns the context of the found line. ContextOut can point to ContextIn if the caller wishes. |
Return Value
If this function finds the next line, the return value is a nonzero value. Otherwise, the return value is zero. To get extended error information, call GetLastError.
Tips & Tricks:
If ContextIn.Line references multiple INF files that have been appended together using SetupOpenAppendInfFile, this function searches across the specified section in all files referenced by the HINF to locate the next line.
Sample Code:
C#
string infFile = <INF file full path>;
uint ErrorLine = 0;
IntPtr infHandle = SetupOpenInfFile(infFile, null, INF_STYLE_OLDNT | INF_STYLE_WIN4, out ErrorLine);
int iCode = Marshal.GetLastWin32Error();
if (infHandle.ToInt64() != INVALID_HANDLE_VALUE)
{
Console.WriteLine("INF file was opened successfully.");
INFCONTEXT Context = new INFCONTEXT();
if (SetupFindFirstLine(infHandle, "Manufacturer", null, ref Context) == true)
{
Console.WriteLine("Manufacturers list:");
string manufacturerName = "";
manufacturerName = manufacturerName.PadLeft(256, ' ');
Int32 requiredSize = manufacturerName.Length;
SetupGetStringField(ref Context, 1, manufacturerName, manufacturerName.Length, out requiredSize);
manufacturerName = manufacturerName.Substring(0, requiredSize-1);
Console.WriteLine(manufacturerName);
while(SetupFindNextLine(ref Context, out Context) == true)
{
manufacturerName = manufacturerName.PadLeft(256, ' ');
requiredSize = manufacturerName.Length;
SetupGetStringField(ref Context, 1, manufacturerName, manufacturerName.Length, out requiredSize);
manufacturerName = manufacturerName.Substring(0, requiredSize - 1);
Console.WriteLine(manufacturerName);
}
}
else
{
Console.WriteLine("Can't find [Manufacturer] section.");
}
SetupCloseInfFile(infHandle);
}
else
{
Console.WriteLine("Failed to open INF file. Error code - {0}.", iCode);
if (ErrorLine != 0)
{
Console.WriteLine("Failure line - {0}.", ErrorLine);
}
}
