Only System.Management namespace listed is Instrumentation... what isgoing on?

[Matt Brown - identify]

I'm new to (visual) c# and began tonight. My background is in
VB .NET, so the adjust is mostly syntax.

Anyway...

I'm trying to perform a WMI query using classes in the
System.Management namespace, unfortunately the necessary namespaces
aren't listed. The only namespace listed is Instrumentation.

I have a feeling it's something stupid and simple.

Any help is appreciated.


Thanks,

Matt

Got it:

While you still have your hand on the mouse, we'll need a reference to
System.Management before we can query WMI. That can easily be done by
right clicking "Reference" in the Solution Explorer and selecting "Add
Reference."

Add System.Management Reference

In the .NET tab scroll down to System.Management and click OK to add
this reference.

Add System.Management Reference

Switch to code view and add the following using statement:


using System.Management;
