Examples

The following example shows how the client receives notification when an instance of Win32_Process is created because the event class is __InstanceCreationEvent. For more information, see the Windows Management Instrumentation documentation. The client receives events synchronously by calling the WaitForNextEvent method. This example can be tested by starting a process, such as Notepad, while the example code is running.

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 change in a service
        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();
        watcher.Query = 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;
    }
}

Constructors

ManagementEventWatcher()

Initializes a new instance of the ManagementEventWatcher class. For further initialization, set the properties on the object. This is the parameterless constructor.

ManagementEventWatcher(EventQuery)

Initializes a new instance of the ManagementEventWatcher class when given a WMI event query.

ManagementEventWatcher(ManagementScope, EventQuery, EventWatcherOptions)

Initializes a new instance of the ManagementEventWatcher class that listens for events conforming to the given WMI event query, according to the specified options. For this variant, the query and the scope are specified objects. The options object can specify options such as time-out and context information.

ManagementEventWatcher(ManagementScope, EventQuery)

Initializes a new instance of the ManagementEventWatcher class that listens for events conforming to the given WMI event query.

ManagementEventWatcher(String, String, EventWatcherOptions)

Initializes a new instance of the ManagementEventWatcher class that listens for events conforming to the given WMI event query, according to the specified options. For this variant, the query and the scope are specified as strings. The options object can specify options such as a time-out and context information.

ManagementEventWatcher(String, String)

Initializes a new instance of the ManagementEventWatcher class that listens for events conforming to the given WMI event query. For this variant, the query and the scope are specified as strings.

ManagementEventWatcher(String)

Initializes a new instance of the ManagementEventWatcher class when given a WMI event query in the form of a string.

Properties

CanRaiseEvents

Gets a value indicating whether the component can raise an event.

(Inherited from Component)
Container

Gets the IContainer that contains the Component.

(Inherited from Component)
DesignMode

Gets a value that indicates whether the Component is currently in design mode.

(Inherited from Component)
Events

Gets the list of event handlers that are attached to this Component.

(Inherited from Component)
Options

Gets or sets the options used to watch for events.

Query

Gets or sets the criteria to apply to events.

Creates an object that contains all the relevant information required to generate a proxy used to communicate with a remote object.

(Inherited from MarshalByRefObject)
Dispose()

Releases all resources used by the Component.

(Inherited from Component)
Dispose(Boolean)

Releases the unmanaged resources used by the Component and optionally releases the managed resources.

(Inherited from Component)
Equals(Object)

Determines whether the specified object is equal to the current object.

(Inherited from Object)
Finalize()

Ensures that outstanding calls are cleared. This is the destructor for the object. In C#, finalizers are expressed using destructor syntax.

GetHashCode()

Serves as the default hash function.

(Inherited from Object)
GetLifetimeService()
Obsolete.

Retrieves the current lifetime service object that controls the lifetime policy for this instance.

(Inherited from MarshalByRefObject)
GetService(Type)

Returns an object that represents a service provided by the Component or by its Container.

(Inherited from Component)
GetType()

Gets the Type of the current instance.

(Inherited from Object)
InitializeLifetimeService()
Obsolete.

Obtains a lifetime service object to control the lifetime policy for this instance.

(Inherited from MarshalByRefObject)
MemberwiseClone()

Creates a shallow copy of the current Object.

(Inherited from Object)
MemberwiseClone(Boolean)

Creates a shallow copy of the current MarshalByRefObject object.

(Inherited from MarshalByRefObject)
Start()

Subscribes to events with the given query and delivers them, asynchronously, through the EventArrived event.

Stop()

Cancels the subscription whether it is synchronous or asynchronous.

ToString()

Returns a String containing the name of the Component, if any. This method should not be overridden.

(Inherited from Component)
WaitForNextEvent()

Waits for the next event that matches the specified query to arrive, and then returns it.

Events

Disposed

Occurs when the component is disposed by a call to the Dispose() method.

(Inherited from Component)
EventArrived

Occurs when a new event arrives.

Stopped

Occurs when a subscription is canceled.
