The ClientProtocol type exposes the following members.

Properties

  Name Description
Public property DisplayName Gets or sets the display name of the referenced protocol.
Public property IsEnabled Gets or sets the Boolean property that specifies whether the client network protocol is enabled or disabled.
Public property Name Gets or sets the name of the referenced Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) object. (Inherited from WmiSmoObject.)
Public property NetLibInfo Gets the network library information file for the referenced protocol.
Public property NetworkLibrary Gets the network library file name for the referenced protocol.
Public property Order Gets or sets the order in which the referenced protocol is listed and applied in relation to the other currently supported protocols.
Public property Parent Gets the ManagedComputer object that is the parent of the ClientProtocol object.
Public property Properties Represents a collection of Property objects. Each Property object represents a property defined on the Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) object. (Inherited from WmiSmoObject.)
Public property ProtocolProperties Represents a collection of ProtocolProperty objects. Each ProtocolProperty object represents an attribute defined on the referenced protocol. (Inherited from ProtocolBase.)
Public property State Gets the state of the referenced object. (Inherited from SmoObjectBase.)
Public property Urn Gets the Uniform Resource Name (URN) address that represents the Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) object. (Inherited from WmiSmoObject.)
Public property UserData Gets or sets user-defined data associated with the referenced object. (Inherited from SmoObjectBase.)
