ManagementReferenceAttribute Class

Definition

The ManagementReferenceAttribute marks a class member, property or method parameter as a reference to another management object or class.

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 ManagementReferenceAttribute sealed : Attribute
[System.AttributeUsage(System.AttributeTargets.Field | System.AttributeTargets.Parameter | System.AttributeTargets.Property, AllowMultiple=false)]

Examples

This example demonstrates how to use the ManagementReferenceAttribute attribute together with the ManagementQualifierAttribute to create an association WMI class that links two other WMI classes. The example is a decoupled provider that exposes three WMI classes in the root/assoc namespace. The first two classes, NumberPhonetic and NumberLetter, are linked by the last class, LetterPhonetic.

To compile the example, you will need to include references to both System.Management.Instrumentation and System.Configuration.Install. You must run installutil.exe against the resulting executable and ensure that the program is running in order to use the implemented WMI classes.

using System;
using System.Collections;
using System.Management.Instrumentation;

[assembly: WmiConfiguration("root/assoc", HostingModel = ManagementHostingModel.Decoupled)]

[System.ComponentModel.RunInstaller(true)]
public class TheInstaller : DefaultManagementInstaller
{ }

    class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            InstrumentationManager.RegisterType(typeof(NumberPhonetic));
            InstrumentationManager.RegisterType(typeof(NumberLetter));
            InstrumentationManager.RegisterType(typeof(LetterPhonetic));

            Console.WriteLine("Press enter to exit");
            Console.ReadLine();

            InstrumentationManager.UnregisterType(typeof(NumberPhonetic));
            InstrumentationManager.UnregisterType(typeof(NumberLetter));
            InstrumentationManager.UnregisterType(typeof(LetterPhonetic));

        }
    }

Remarks

You can use this attribute to create association classes as demonstrated in the following example.

Returns the hash code for this instance.

GetType()

Gets the Type of the current instance.

(Inherited from Object)
IsDefaultAttribute()

When overridden in a derived class, indicates whether the value of this instance is the default value for the derived class.
