Properties

Count	Gets the number of objects in the MethodDataCollection collection.
IsSynchronized	Gets a value that indicates whether the object is synchronized.
Item[String]	Gets the specified MethodData from the MethodDataCollection.
SyncRoot	Gets the object to be used for synchronization.

Methods

Add(String, ManagementBaseObject, ManagementBaseObject)	Adds a MethodData to the MethodDataCollection. This overload will add a new method with the specified parameter objects to the collection.
Add(String)	Adds a MethodData to the MethodDataCollection. This overload will add a new method with no parameters to the collection.
CopyTo(Array, Int32)	Copies the MethodDataCollection into an array.
CopyTo(MethodData[], Int32)	Copies the MethodDataCollection to a specialized MethodData array.
Equals(Object)	Determines whether the specified object is equal to the current object. (Inherited from Object)
GetEnumerator()	Returns an enumerator for the MethodDataCollection.
GetHashCode()	Serves as the default hash function. (Inherited from Object)
GetType()	Gets the Type of the current instance. (Inherited from Object)
MemberwiseClone()	Creates a shallow copy of the current Object. (Inherited from Object)
Remove(String)	Removes a MethodData from the MethodDataCollection.
ToString()	Returns a string that represents the current object. (Inherited from Object)

Explicit Interface Implementations

IEnumerable.GetEnumerator()

Returns an IEnumerator that iterates through the MethodDataCollection.
