Examples

The following example initializes a new instance of the ManagementObject class with the default namespace, and then changes the scope of the ManagementObject.

using System;
using System.Management;
public class Sample
{
    public static void Main()
    {
        // Create the object with the default namespace
        // (root\cimv2)
        ManagementObject o = new ManagementObject();

        // Change the scope (=namespace) of this object
        // to the one specified.
        o.Scope = new ManagementScope("root\\CIMV2");
    }
}

Imports System.Management
Public Class Sample

    Public Overloads Shared Function Main( _
    ByVal args() As String) As Integer

        ' Create the object with the default namespace
        ' (root\cimv2)
        Dim o As New ManagementObject

        ' Change the scope (=namespace) of this object
        ' to the one specified.
        o.Scope = New ManagementScope("root\CIMV2")

        Return 0
    End Function
End Class

Remarks

Changing this property after the management object has been bound to a WMI object in a particular namespace results in releasing the original WMI object. This causes the management object to be rebound to the new object specified by the new path properties and scope values.

The rebinding is performed in a "lazy" manner, that is, only when a requested value requires the management object to be bound to the WMI object. Changes can be made to more than just this property before attempting to rebind (for example, modifying the scope and path properties simultaneously).
