MethodDataCollection Class
Represents the set of methods available in the collection.
Assembly: System.Management (in System.Management.dll)
The MethodDataCollection type exposes the following members.
| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
![]() | Count | Gets the number of objects in the MethodDataCollection collection. |
![]() | IsSynchronized | Gets a value that indicates whether the object is synchronized. |
![]() | Item | Gets the specified MethodData from the MethodDataCollection. |
![]() | SyncRoot | Gets the object to be used for synchronization. |
| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
![]() | Add(String) | Adds a MethodData to the MethodDataCollection. This overload will add a new method with no parameters to the collection. |
![]() | Add(String, ManagementBaseObject, ManagementBaseObject) | Adds a MethodData to the MethodDataCollection. This overload will add a new method with the specified parameter objects to the collection. |
![]() | CopyTo(Array, Int32) | Copies the MethodDataCollection into an array. |
![]() | CopyTo(MethodData[], Int32) | Copies the MethodDataCollection to a specialized MethodData array. |
![]() | Equals(Object) | Determines whether the specified object is equal to the current object. (Inherited from Object.) |
![]() | Finalize | Allows an object to try to free resources and perform other cleanup operations before it is reclaimed by garbage collection. (Inherited from Object.) |
![]() | GetEnumerator | Returns an enumerator for the MethodDataCollection. |
![]() | GetHashCode | Serves as a hash function for a particular type. (Inherited from Object.) |
![]() | GetType | Gets the Type of the current instance. (Inherited from Object.) |
![]() | MemberwiseClone | Creates a shallow copy of the current Object. (Inherited from Object.) |
![]() | Remove | Removes a MethodData from the MethodDataCollection. |
![]() | ToString | Returns a string that represents the current object. (Inherited from Object.) |
| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
![]() | AsParallel | Enables parallelization of a query. (Defined by ParallelEnumerable.) |
![]() | AsQueryable | Converts an IEnumerable to an IQueryable. (Defined by Queryable.) |
![]() | Cast<TResult> | Casts the elements of an IEnumerable to the specified type. (Defined by Enumerable.) |
![]() | OfType<TResult> | Filters the elements of an IEnumerable based on a specified type. (Defined by Enumerable.) |
| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
![]() ![]() | IEnumerable.GetEnumerator | Returns an IEnumerator that iterates through the MethodDataCollection. |
The following example lists information about the Win32_Process.Create method using the MethodData class. For more information on the Win32_Process class, see the Windows Management Instrumentation documentation in the MSDN Library at http://msdn.microsoft.com/library.
using System; using System.Management; public class Sample { public static void Main() { // Get the WMI class ManagementClass processClass = new ManagementClass("Win32_Process"); processClass.Options.UseAmendedQualifiers = true; // Get the methods in the class MethodDataCollection methods = processClass.Methods; // display the method names Console.WriteLine("Method Name: "); foreach (MethodData method in methods) { if(method.Name.Equals("Create")) { Console.WriteLine(method.Name); Console.WriteLine("Description: " + method.Qualifiers["Description"].Value); Console.WriteLine(); Console.WriteLine("In-parameters: "); foreach(PropertyData i in method.InParameters.Properties) { Console.WriteLine(i.Name); } Console.WriteLine(); Console.WriteLine("Out-parameters: "); foreach(PropertyData o in method.OutParameters.Properties) { Console.WriteLine(o.Name); } Console.WriteLine(); Console.WriteLine("Qualifiers: "); foreach(QualifierData q in method.Qualifiers) { Console.WriteLine(q.Name); } Console.WriteLine(); } } } }
Windows 8, Windows Server 2012, Windows 7, Windows Vista SP2, Windows Server 2008 (Server Core Role not supported), Windows Server 2008 R2 (Server Core Role supported with SP1 or later; Itanium not supported)
