' This sample demonstrates how to create

' the InstrumentationType enumeration 

' Specify which namespace the management event 
' class is created in
<Assembly: Instrumented("Root/Default")> 

' Let the system know InstallUtil.exe tool will 
' be run against this assembly
<System.ComponentModel.RunInstaller(True)> _
Public Class MyInstaller
    Inherits DefaultManagementProjectInstaller
End Class 'MyInstaller

Namespace WMISample
    ' Create a management instrumentation event class
    <InstrumentationClass(InstrumentationType.Event)> _
    Public Class MyEvent
        Private EventName As String 
        Function setEventName(ByVal name As String)
            EventName = name
        End Function 
    End Class

            As String) As Integer 

            Dim e As New MyEvent
