ManagementBaseObject.Item Property

Gets access to property values through [] notation. This property is the indexer for the ManagementBaseObject class. You can use the default indexed properties defined by a type, but you cannot explicitly define your own. However, specifying the expando attribute on a class automatically provides a default indexed property whose type is Object and whose index type is String.

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

Examples

The following example shows how to initialize a ManagementClass variable with a ManagementClass constructor and then get all the instances of a WMI class.

Visual Basic


Imports System
Imports System.Management


Class Sample
    Public Overloads Shared Function _
        Main(ByVal args() As String) As Integer

        Dim c As New ManagementClass("Win32_Process")
        Dim o As ManagementObject
        For Each o In c.GetInstances()
            Console.WriteLine( _
                "Next instance of Win32_Process : {0}", o("Name"))
        Next o

    End Function
End Class


using System;
using System.Management;

public class Sample 
{    
    public static void Main() 
    {
        ManagementClass c = new ManagementClass("Win32_Process");
        foreach (ManagementObject o in c.GetInstances())
            Console.WriteLine(
                "Next instance of Win32_Process : {0}", o["Name"]);

    }
}
