ManagementNameAttribute Class
The ManagementName attribute is used to override names exposed through a WMI class.
Note: the WMI .NET libraries are now considered in final state, and no further development, enhancements, or updates will be available for non-security related issues affecting these libraries. The MI APIs should be used for all new development.
Assembly: System.Core (in System.Core.dll)
| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
![]() | ManagementNameAttribute(String) | Initializes a new instance of the T:System.Management.ManagementNameAttribute class that specifies a value for the P:System.Management.ManagementNameAttribute.Name property of the class. |
| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
![]() | Equals(Object) | This API supports the product infrastructure and is not intended to be used directly from your code. Returns a value that indicates whether this instance is equal to a specified object.(Inherited from Attribute.) |
![]() | GetHashCode() | Returns the hash code for this instance.(Inherited from Attribute.) |
![]() | GetType() | |
![]() | IsDefaultAttribute() | When overridden in a derived class, indicates whether the value of this instance is the default value for the derived class.(Inherited from Attribute.) |
![]() | Match(Object) | When overridden in a derived class, returns a value that indicates whether this instance equals a specified object.(Inherited from Attribute.) |
![]() | ToString() | Returns a string that represents the current object.(Inherited from Object.) |
| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
![]() ![]() | _Attribute.GetIDsOfNames(Guid, IntPtr, UInt32, UInt32, IntPtr) | Maps a set of names to a corresponding set of dispatch identifiers.(Inherited from Attribute.) |
![]() ![]() | _Attribute.GetTypeInfo(UInt32, UInt32, IntPtr) | Retrieves the type information for an object, which can be used to get the type information for an interface.(Inherited from Attribute.) |
![]() ![]() | _Attribute.GetTypeInfoCount(UInt32) | Retrieves the number of type information interfaces that an object provides (either 0 or 1).(Inherited from Attribute.) |
![]() ![]() | _Attribute.Invoke(UInt32, Guid, UInt32, Int16, IntPtr, IntPtr, IntPtr, IntPtr) | Provides access to properties and methods exposed by an object.(Inherited from Attribute.) |
It might be inconvenient to rename method parameters to present WMI clients with more user-friendly names. This attribute lets you assign user-friendly WMI names while retaining your existing internal naming conventions.
In the following example, the integer parameter remains i internally, but will be exposed as "The Value" to WMI clients.
[ManagementTask]
static public int PrintValue([ManagementName("The Value")]int i)
{
Console.WriteLine("The Value is {0:x}", i);
return i;
}
Available since 3.5
