Convert Script code to VB.Net

[Allen]

Given a script like the following is there a recipe I could use to convert
it to VB.net code.'myServer = "."'The following moniker identifies the
root\cimv2 namespace on the myServer computer. An SWbemServices object is
returned.'objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:\\" & myServer &
"\root\cimv2")'colItems = objWMIService.ExecQuery("Select * from
Win32_Processor")'For Each objItem In colItems' Wscript.Echo("Processor Id:
" & objItem.ProcessorId)' Wscript.Echo("Maximum Clock Speed: " &
objItem.MaxClockSpeed)'NextI tried the following but don't really know why
it works.The parameter for GetObject is a path name to a file.What does the
path I used point to?Dim strComputer As String = "."Dim objWMIService As
Object = GetObject("winmgmts:\\" & strComputer & "\root\cimv2")Dim colItems
As Object = objWMIService.ExecQuery("Select * from Win32_Processor")For Each
objItem As Object In colItemsConsole.WriteLine("Processor Id: " &
objItem.ProcessorId)Console.WriteLine("Maximum Clock Speed: " &
objItem.MaxClockSpeed)NextInstead of Object are there .Net types that can be
used for this script?In general, given a script how does one determine the
types to use?I know I'm asking for a lot and I'd be appreciative for partial
answers or any help at all.Thanks

I've no idea what happed to the previous post.
Here it is again.

Given a script like the following is there a recipe I could use to convert
it to VB.net code.

'myServer = "."
'objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:\\" & myServer &
"\root\cimv2")
'colItems = objWMIService.ExecQuery("Select * from
Win32_Processor")
'For Each objItem In colItems' Wscript.Echo("Processor Id:
" & objItem.ProcessorId)' Wscript.Echo("Maximum Clock Speed: " &
objItem.MaxClockSpeed)
'Next

I tried the following but don't really know why it works.
The parameter for GetObject is a path name to a file.What does the
path I used point to?

Dim strComputer As String = "."Dim objWMIService As
Object = GetObject("winmgmts:\\" & strComputer & "\root\cimv2")
Dim colItems As Object =
objWMIService.ExecQuery("Select * from Win32_Processor")
For Each objItem As Object In colItemsConsole.
WriteLine("Processor Id: " &
objItem.ProcessorId)Console.
WriteLine("Maximum Clock Speed: " &
objItem.MaxClockSpeed)
Next

Instead of Object are there .Net types that can be
used for this script?In general, given a script how does one determine the
types to use?

I know I'm asking for a lot and I'd be appreciative for partial
answers or any help at all.Thanks

Allen,

See this link on our website.

There are more WMI tips search for that just on WMI

I hope this helps,

You never had to use
Dim objWMIService As Object = GetObject("winmgmts:\\" & strComputer &
"\root\cimv2")
Do you know what that does?


Nice site
Thanks
