Public Sub New (scope As ManagementScope, path As ManagementPath, options As ObjectGetOptions)

Parameters

path

ManagementPath

A ManagementPath that represents the path to the WMI class in the specified scope. The class represents a CIM management class from WMI. CIM classes represent management information including hardware, software, processes, and so on. For more information about the CIM classes available in Windows, see CIM Classes.

Examples

The following example is an example of how to initialize a ManagementClass variable with a ManagementClass constructor. The example lists the methods, properties, and qualifiers (including the amended qualifiers) for the created class. You must change the scope (namespace) in the code for the example to run correctly on your computer.

ManagementClass(String, String, ObjectGetOptions)

Source:

Source:

Source:

Source:

Initializes a new instance of the ManagementClass class for the specified WMI class, in the specified scope, and with the specified options. The class represents a Common Information Model (CIM) management class from WMI such as Win32_LogicalDisk, which can represent a disk drive, and Win32_Process, which represents a process such as Notepad.exe.

public:
 ManagementClass(System::String ^ scope, System::String ^ path, System::Management::ObjectGetOptions ^ options);

public ManagementClass(string scope, string path, System.Management.ObjectGetOptions options);

new System.Management.ManagementClass : string * string * System.Management.ObjectGetOptions -> System.Management.ManagementClass

Public Sub New (scope As String, path As String, options As ObjectGetOptions)

Parameters

scope

String

The scope in which the WMI class resides.

path

String

The path to the WMI class within the specified scope. The class represents a CIM management class from WMI. CIM classes represent management information including hardware, software, processes, and so on. For more information about the CIM classes available in Windows, see CIM Classes.

Examples

The following example shows how to initialize a ManagementClass variable with a ManagementClass constructor. The example lists the methods, properties, and qualifiers (including the amended qualifiers) for the created class. You must change the scope (namespace) in the code for the example to run correctly on your computer.

using System;
using System.Management;

public class Sample
{
    public static void Main()
    {

        // Get the WMI class
        //Options specify that amended qualifiers
        // should be retrieved along with the class
        ManagementClass c =
            new ManagementClass("\\\\MyBox\\root\\cimv2",
            "Win32_Environment",
            new ObjectGetOptions(
            null, System.TimeSpan.MaxValue, true));

        // Get the methods in the class
        MethodDataCollection methods =
            c.Methods;

        // display the methods
        Console.WriteLine("Method Names: ");

            c.Properties;

        // display the properties

        {
