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.
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 | |
|---|---|---|
![]() | WmiConfigurationAttribute(String) | Initializes a new instance of the T:System.Management.WmiConfigurationAttribute class that specifies the WMI namespace in which the WMI provider will expose classes. |
| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
![]() | HostingGroup | Gets or sets the hosting group for the WMI provider. |
![]() | HostingModel | Gets or sets the hosting model for the WMI provider. |
![]() | IdentifyLevel | Gets or sets a value that specifies whether the WMI provider can impersonate its callers. If the value is false, the provider cannot impersonate, and if the value is true, the provider can impersonate. |
![]() | NamespaceSecurity | Gets or sets a Security Descriptor Definition Language (SDDL) string that specifies the security descriptor on the namespace in which the provider exposes management objects. |
![]() | Scope | Gets or sets the WMI namespace in which the WMI provider exposes classes. |
![]() | SecurityRestriction | Gets or sets a security descriptor for the WMI provider. For more information, see the SecurityDescriptor property information in the "__Win32Provider" topic in the MSDN online library at http://www.msdn.com. |
![]() | TypeId |
| 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.) |
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 |
|---|---|
The namespace in which your provider exposes classes. | |
NamespaceSecurity |
|
HostingModel |
|
IdentifyLevel |
|
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. |
// 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)]
