Remarks

Note:
The HostProtectionAttribute attribute applied to this type or member has the following Resources property value: MayLeakOnAbort. The HostProtectionAttribute does not affect desktop applications (which are typically started by double-clicking an icon, typing a command, or entering a URL in a browser). For more information, see the HostProtectionAttribute class or SQL Server Programming and Host Protection Attributes.

For more information, see the HostProtectionAttribute class or SQL Server Programming and Host Protection Attributes.

The lifetime of a managed entity is not bound to the lifetime of the .NET object representing it. The provider can use the method marked with this attribute to create a new instance of the corresponding managed entity.

The method parameters should have the same name and type as the parameters of the class binding constructor.

Use of this attribute does not have any affect on registration of the WMI class in the repository. It is only used at runtime.

Examples

The following example demonstrates how to use the ManagementCreate attribute.

[ManagementEntity]
public class ProcessInstance
{
     [ManagementKey]
     public int Id; 

     [ManagementCreate]
     public ProcessInstance StartProcess(string cmdLine)
     {
        ProcessInstance newProcess = new ProcessInstance(cmdLine);
        newProcess.Start();
        return newProcess;
     }
}
