WmiConfigurationAttribute Class

The WmiConfiguration attribute indicates that an assembly contains code that implements a WMI provider by using the WMI.NET Provider Extensions model. The attribute accepts parameters that establish the high-level configuration of the implemented WMI provider.

Namespace: System.Management.Instrumentation
Assembly: System.Core (in System.Core.dll)

Syntax

Visual Basic (Declaration)

<AttributeUsageAttribute(AttributeTargets.Assembly)> _
<HostProtectionAttribute(SecurityAction.LinkDemand, MayLeakOnAbort := True)> _
Public NotInheritable Class WmiConfigurationAttribute _
    Inherits Attribute

Visual Basic (Usage)

Dim instance As WmiConfigurationAttribute

[AttributeUsageAttribute(AttributeTargets.Assembly)]
[HostProtectionAttribute(SecurityAction.LinkDemand, MayLeakOnAbort = true)]
public sealed class WmiConfigurationAttribute : Attribute

Visual C++

[AttributeUsageAttribute(AttributeTargets::Assembly)]
[HostProtectionAttribute(SecurityAction::LinkDemand, MayLeakOnAbort = true)]
public ref class WmiConfigurationAttribute sealed : public Attribute

JScript

public final class WmiConfigurationAttribute extends Attribute

The following table lists the parameters accepted by this attribute along with what aspect of the provider configuration it enables you to control.

Parameter	Configures
[Scope]	The namespace in which your provider exposes classes.
[NamespaceSecurity]	The security (DACL) on the namespace used.
[HostingModel]	The hosting model that will be used by the provider.
[IdentifyLevel]	The impersonation mode of the provider.
[HostingGroup]	The hosting group that the provider belongs to. This parameter only applies to in-process providers.
[SecurityRestriction]	The security (DACL) on the WMI provider.

Examples

// Specify that this assembly contains code that implements a WMI
// Provider. Use the assembly:WmiConfiguration attribute to define
// the WMI namespace, the hosting model, and the impersonation mode
// of the WMI provider.
// The attribute below specifies that the class this provider
// exposes to WMI will be in the root/MortgageCalc namespace, will
// use the decoupled hosting model and will not allow the provider
// to impersonate its callers.

[assembly: WmiConfiguration("root/MortgageCalc",HostingModel = ManagementHostingModel.Decoupled, IdentifyLevel = false)]
