InstanceDataCollectionCollection::Keys Property
Gets the object and counter registry keys for the objects associated with this instance data collection.
Assembly: System (in System.dll)
Property Value
Type: System.Collections::ICollection^An ICollection that represents a set of object-specific registry keys.
Each software component creates keys for its objects and counters when it is installed and writes counter data while it is executing. You can access this data as you would access any other registry data. However, although you use the registry to collect performance data, the data is not stored in the registry database. Instead, the system collects the data from the appropriate system object managers.
The following code example uses the Keys property of an InstanceDataCollectionCollection to return a collection of counter names, which it converts to an array of String. It generates an array of InstanceDataCollection objects using the Values property. For each element in the array of counter names, it displays the name and calls a function to process the associated InstanceDataCollection.
