get a Win32_NetworkAdapterConfiguration object in dotnet

[Dominique Vandensteen]

I'm reading/updating my network conf with .net (system.management)

Dim mc As ManagementClass = New
ManagementClass("Win32_NetworkAdapterConfiguration")
Dim mobj As ManagementObject

I have to use ManagementObject.InvokeMethod to edit my setting.
Is there a way to directly use a Win32_NetworkAdapterConfiguration object?

Generally, to get a ManagmentObject directly, you first use need to know the instance path of the WMI instance you want to get. And then you'd call one of the ManagementObject class constructor. Sometimes, you can get ManagementObject objects directly through instance enumeration or WMI object queries. e.g.

 

//This snippet sets a static IP address and subnet mask on a machine.

// Enumerate all network adapters on a machine
SelectQuery query = new SelectQuery("Win32_NetworkAdapterConfiguration", "IPEnabled='TRUE'");
ManagementObjectSearcher searcher = new ManagementObjectSearcher(query);
string[] ipAddress = {"179.31.124.12"}; 
string[] subnetMask = {"255.255.248.0"};
foreach(ManagementObject networkAdapter in searcher.Get())
{
     // Set new IP address
     ManagementBaseObject inParams = networkAdapter.GetMethodParameters("EnableStatic");
     inParams["IPAddress"] = ipAddress;
     inParams["SubnetMask"] = subnetMask;
     ManagementBaseObject outParams = networkAdapter.InvokeMethod("EnableStatic", inParams, null);
     Console.WriteLine("Executing EnableStatic method returns {0}", outParams["ReturnValue"]);
}
