Installs instrumented assemblies. Include an instance of this installer class in the project installer for an assembly that includes instrumentation.

Installs the assembly.

The state of the assembly.

Commits the assembly to the operation.

The state of the assembly.

Rolls back the state of the assembly.

The state of the assembly.

Uninstalls the assembly.

The state of the assembly.

Gets or sets installer options for this class.

Installs an instrumented assembly. This class is a default project installer for assemblies that contain management instrumentation and do not use other installers (such as services, or message queues). To use this default project installer, simply derive a class from inside the assembly. No methods need to be overridden.

Initializes a new instance of the class. This is the default constructor.

Defines the languages supported by the code generator.

A value for generating C# code.

A value for generating JScript code.

A value for generating Visual Basic code.

Creates an empty generator object. This is the default constructor.

Creates a generator object and initializes it with the specified .

object for which the code is to be generated.

Returns a for this class.

Indicates if a class for handling system properties should be included. Indicates if the generated code is for a class that handles system properties. Returns the for the WMI class.

Generates a strongly-typed code class for the specified language provider (C#, Visual Basic or JScript) and writes it to the specified file.

The language to generate in. The path to the file where the generated code should be stored. The .NET namespace into which the class is generated.

Indicates the name of the server from which the WMI class originates.

Indicates the WMI namespace from which the WMI class originates.

Indicates the original name of the WMI class.

The full path of the WMI class.

Checks if the current language supports unsigned values.

if the language supports unsigned values, otherwise.

Specifies a user name for the WMI connection.

Specifies a user password if a different user name was specified.

Specifies an authority to be used for the WMI connection.
