ManagementEntityAttribute Class

Definition

The ManagementEntity attribute indicates that a class provides management information exposed through a 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.

public ref class ManagementEntityAttribute sealed : Attribute
[System.AttributeUsage(System.AttributeTargets.Class, AllowMultiple=false, Inherited=false)]
public sealed class ManagementEntityAttribute : Attribute

Examples

The following example shows how to use the ManagementEntity attribute to mark a class.

// Use the ManagementEntity attribute on the class to specify that this // class contains management information that is available from  
// provider.  

    [ManagementEntity(Name = "MortgageCalc")]  
    public class MortgageCalcWMIProvider  
    {  
    }  

Remarks

The class marked by this attribute must be public.
