InstanceData Class

Definition

Namespace:

System.Diagnostics

Assembly:

System.Diagnostics.PerformanceCounter.dll

Package:

System.Diagnostics.PerformanceCounter v9.0.0-rc.2.24473.5

Source:

InstanceData.cs

Holds instance data associated with a performance counter sample.

public ref class InstanceData

public class InstanceData

type InstanceData = class

Public Class InstanceData

Inheritance

Object

InstanceData

Examples

The following code example displays the contents of the InstanceData objects that exist in a particular PerformanceCounterCategory on the local computer. It first displays a numbered list of PerformanceCounter categories. After the user enters the number of one of the categories, the sample displays, for each PerformanceCounter in the PerformanceCounterCategory, the instance data associated with each instance of the PerformanceCounter.
