Initializes a new instance of the ManagementClass class for the specified WMI class, in the specified scope, and with the specified options. The class represents a Common Information Model (CIM) management class from WMI such as Win32_LogicalDisk, which can represent a disk drive, and Win32_Process, which represents a process such as Notepad.exe.
public:
ManagementClass(System::String ^ scope, System::String ^ path, System::Management::ObjectGetOptions ^ options);
public ManagementClass (string scope, string path, System.Management.ObjectGetOptions options);
new System.Management.ManagementClass : string * string * System.Management.ObjectGetOptions -> System.Management.ManagementClass
Public Sub New (scope As String, path As String, options As ObjectGetOptions)
Parameters
- scope
- String
The scope in which the WMI class resides.
- path
- String
The path to the WMI class within the specified scope. The class represents a CIM management class from WMI. CIM classes represent management information including hardware, software, processes, and so on. For more information about the CIM classes available in Windows, see CIM Classes.
- options
- ObjectGetOptions
An ObjectGetOptions that specifies the options to use when retrieving the WMI class.
Examples
The following example shows how to initialize a ManagementClass variable with a ManagementClass constructor. The example lists the methods, properties, and qualifiers (including the amended qualifiers) for the created class. You must change the scope (namespace) in the code for the example to run correctly on your computer.
using System;
using System.Management;
public class Sample
{
public static void Main()
{
// Get the WMI class
//Options specify that amended qualifiers
// should be retrieved along with the class
ManagementClass c =
new ManagementClass("\\\\MyBox\\root\\cimv2",
"Win32_Environment",
new ObjectGetOptions(
null, System.TimeSpan.MaxValue, true));
// Get the methods in the class
MethodDataCollection methods =
c.Methods;
// display the methods
Console.WriteLine("Method Names: ");
foreach (MethodData method in methods)
{
Console.WriteLine(method.Name);
}
Console.WriteLine();
// Get the properties in the class
PropertyDataCollection properties =
c.Properties;
// display the properties
Console.WriteLine("Property Names: ");
foreach (PropertyData property in properties)
{
Console.WriteLine(property.Name);
}
Console.WriteLine();
// Get the Qualifiers in the class
QualifierDataCollection qualifiers =
c.Qualifiers;
// display the qualifiers
Console.WriteLine("Qualifier Names: ");
foreach (QualifierData qualifier in qualifiers)
{
Console.WriteLine(qualifier.Name);
}
}
}

Remarks
The path can be specified as a full path (including server and namespace). However, if a scope is specified, it will override the first portion of the full path.
