MethodData.OutParameters Property

Definition

Namespace:

System.Management

Assembly:

System.Management.dll

Package:

System.Management v9.0.0-rc.2.24473.5

Source:

Method.cs

Gets the output parameters to the method. Each parameter is described as a property in the object. If a parameter is both in and out, it will appear in both the InParameters and OutParameters properties.

public:
 property System::Management::ManagementBaseObject ^ OutParameters { System::Management::ManagementBaseObject ^ get(); };

public System.Management.ManagementBaseObject OutParameters { get; }

member this.OutParameters : System.Management.ManagementBaseObject

Public ReadOnly Property OutParameters As ManagementBaseObject

Property Value

ManagementBaseObject

Returns a ManagementBaseObject containing the output parameters for the method.

Examples

The following example lists information about the Win32_Process.Create method using the MethodData class. For more information on the Win32_Process class, see the Windows Management Instrumentation documentation.

using System;
using System.Management;

{
    public static void Main()

        // Get the WMI class

        processClass.Options.UseAmendedQualifiers = true;

        // Get the methods in the class
        MethodDataCollection methods =
            processClass.Methods;

        // display the method names
        Console.WriteLine("Method Name: ");
        foreach (MethodData method in methods)
        {
            if(method.Name.Equals("Create"))
            {
                Console.WriteLine(method.Name);
                Console.WriteLine("Description: " +
                    method.Qualifiers["Description"].Value);

Remarks

Each parameter in this object should have an ID qualifier to identify the order of the parameters in the method call.

The ReturnValue property is a special property of the ManagementBaseObject returned by the OutParameters property and holds the return value of the method.

Property Value

A ManagementBaseObject containing all the output parameters to the method.
