Constructors
| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
|
ManagementObject() | Initializes a new instance of the ManagementObject class. This is the default constructor. |
|
ManagementObject(ManagementPath) | Initializes a new instance of the ManagementObject class for the specified WMI object path. The path is provided as a ManagementPath. |
|
ManagementObject(String) | Initializes a new instance of the ManagementObject class for the specified WMI object path. The path is provided as a string. |
|
ManagementObject(ManagementPath, ObjectGetOptions) | Initializes a new instance of the ManagementObject class bound to the specified WMI path, including the specified additional options. |
|
ManagementObject(SerializationInfo, StreamingContext) | Initializes a new instance of the ManagementObject class that is serializable. |
|
ManagementObject(String, ObjectGetOptions) | Initializes a new instance of the ManagementObject class bound to the specified WMI path, including the specified additional options. In this variant, the path can be specified as a string. |
|
ManagementObject(ManagementScope, ManagementPath, ObjectGetOptions) | Initializes a new instance of the ManagementObject class bound to the specified WMI path that includes the specified options. |
|
ManagementObject(String, String, ObjectGetOptions) | Initializes a new instance of the ManagementObject class bound to the specified WMI path, and includes the specified options. The scope and the path are specified as strings. |
Properties
| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
|
CanRaiseEvents | Gets a value indicating whether the component can raise an event. (Inherited from Component.) |
|
ClassPath | Gets or sets the path to the object's class. (Overrides ManagementBaseObject.ClassPath.) |
|
Container | Gets the IContainer that contains the Component. (Inherited from Component.) |
|
DesignMode | Gets a value that indicates whether the Component is currently in design mode. (Inherited from Component.) |
|
Events | Gets the list of event handlers that are attached to this Component. (Inherited from Component.) |
|
Item | 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. (Inherited from ManagementBaseObject.) |
|
Options | Gets or sets additional information to use when retrieving the object. |
|
Path | Gets or sets the object's WMI path. |
|
Properties | Gets a collection of PropertyData objects describing the properties of the management object. (Inherited from ManagementBaseObject.) |
|
Qualifiers | Gets the collection of QualifierData objects defined on the management object. Each element in the collection holds information such as the qualifier name, value, and flavor. (Inherited from ManagementBaseObject.) |
|
Scope | Gets or sets the scope in which this object resides. |
|
Site | Gets or sets the ISite of the Component. (Inherited from Component.) |
|
SystemProperties | Gets the collection of WMI system properties of the management object (for example, the class name, server, and namespace). WMI system property names begin with "__". (Inherited from ManagementBaseObject.) |
