WqlEventQuery.WithinInterval Property

Definition

Gets or sets the polling interval to be used in this query.

public:
 property TimeSpan WithinInterval { TimeSpan get(); void set(TimeSpan value); };
public TimeSpan WithinInterval { get; set; }
member this.WithinInterval : TimeSpan with get, set
Public Property WithinInterval As TimeSpan

Property Value

Returns a TimeSpan value containing the polling interval used in the event query.

Examples

The following example initializes a new WqlEventQuery that represents the query: "SELECT * FROM __InstanceCreationEvent WITHIN 1 WHERE TargetInstance ISA 'Win32_Process'".

using System;
using System.Management;

// This example shows synchronous consumption of events.
// The client is blocked while waiting for events.

public class EventWatcherPolling
{
    public static int Main(string[] args)
    {
        // Create event query to be notified within 1 second of
        // a new process being created
        WqlEventQuery query =
            new WqlEventQuery("__InstanceCreationEvent",
            new TimeSpan(0,0,1),
            "TargetInstance isa \"Win32_Process\"");

        // Initialize an event watcher and subscribe to events
        // that match this query
        ManagementEventWatcher watcher =
            new ManagementEventWatcher(query);
        // times out watcher.WaitForNextEvent in 5 seconds
        watcher.Options.Timeout = new TimeSpan(0,0,5);

        // Block until the next event occurs
        // Note: this can be done in a loop if waiting for
        //        more than one occurrence
        Console.WriteLine(
            "Open an application (notepad.exe) to trigger an event.");
        ManagementBaseObject e = watcher.WaitForNextEvent();

        //Display information from the event
        Console.WriteLine(
            "Process {0} has been created, path is: {1}",
            ((ManagementBaseObject)e
            ["TargetInstance"])["Name"],
            ((ManagementBaseObject)e
            ["TargetInstance"])["ExecutablePath"]);

        //Cancel the subscription
        watcher.Stop();
        return 0;
    }
}

Remarks

This property should only be set in cases where there is no event provider for the event requested, and WMI is required to poll for the requested condition.

Setting this property value overrides any previous value stored in the object. The query string is rebuilt to reflect the new interval.

Property Value

Null, if there is no polling involved; otherwise, a valid TimeSpan value if polling is required.
