To read a Microsoft System Center Configuration Manager 2007 object instance by using the managed SMS Provider, use WqlConnectionManager.GetInstance. The GetInstance method takes a string that identifies a specific object instance and returns an IResultObject object that is used to access the object.

The following example function shows the name and description for a supplied package identifier.

public void DisplayPackageName(WqlConnectionManager connection, string packageID)
{
    try 
    {
        // Get the package.
        IResultObject package = connection.GetInstance(@"SMS_Package.PackageID='" + packageID + "'");
        Console.WriteLine("Package Name: " + package["Name"].StringValue);
        Console.WriteLine("Package Description: " + package["Description"].StringValue);
    }
    catch (SmsException ex)
    {
        Console.WriteLine("Failed to get package. Error: " + ex.Message);
