ManagementQualifierAttribute Class

Definition

The ManagementQualifier attribute contains additional WMI provider-related information about an associated WMI class, instance, property, field or method.

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 ManagementQualifierAttribute sealed : Attribute
[System.AttributeUsage(System.AttributeTargets.All, AllowMultiple=true)]
public sealed class ManagementQualifierAttribute : Attribute
[<System.AttributeUsage(System.AttributeTargets.All, AllowMultiple=true)>]
type ManagementQualifierAttribute = class

Examples

The following example demonstrates using the ManagementQualifier attribute to indicate that a class implements a WMI association class. In this case, the qualifier has a DisableOverride flavor that specifies that the effect of the qualifier cannot be overridden in subclasses.

[ManagementQualifier("Association", Flavor = ManagementQualifierFlavors.DisableOverride)]  
public class AssociationSample  
{  
}  

Remarks

Qualifiers are name/value pairs used by the WMI infrastructure. Most of the necessary WMI qualifiers are automatically generated by the WMI.NET Provider Extensions infrastructure. Many of the other attributes cause the generation of WMI qualifiers. However, this attribute lets you manually associate additional qualifiers should you need to do so.

To learn more about this topic, see WMI Qualifiers in the WMI SDK on MSDN online.

Explicit Interface Implementations

_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)
