<mgmtclassgen>

[This is preliminary documentation and subject to change.]

A task that generates strongly typed WMI classes using mgmtclassgen.exe.

The Management Strongly Typed Class Generator enables you to quickly generate an early-bound managed class for a specified Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) class. The generated class simplifies the code you must write to access an instance of the WMI class.

Parameters

AttributeTypeDescriptionRequired
wmiclassstring Specifies the name of the WMI class to generate the strongly typed class True
languagestring Specifies the language in which to generate the class. Possible values are: CS, VB, JS False
machinestring Specifies the machine to connect to. False
namespacestring Namespace of the generated .NET class False
outstring Path of the file to generate False
passwordstring Password to use when connecting to the specified machine False
pathstring Specifies the path to the WMI namespace that contains the class. False
usernamestring User name to use when connecting to the specified machine False
failonerrorbool Determines if task failure stops the build, or is just reported. The default is true. False
ifbool If true then the task will be executed; otherwise, skipped. The default is true. False
timeoutint The maximum amount of time the application is allowed to execute, expressed in milliseconds. Defaults to no time-out. False
unlessbool Opposite of if. If false then the task will be executed; otherwise, skipped. The default is false. False
verbosebool Determines whether the task should report detailed build log messages. The default is false. False

Framework-configurable parameters

AttributeTypeDescriptionRequired
exenamestring The name of the executable that should be used to launch the external program. False
managedManagedExecution Specifies whether the external program should be treated as a managed application, possibly forcing it to be executed under the currently targeted version of the CLR. False
useruntimeengineboolDeprecated. Specifies whether the external program is a managed application which should be executed using a runtime engine, if configured. The default is false. False

Nested Elements:

<arg>

The command-line arguments for the external program.

Represents a command-line argument.

When passed to an external application, the argument will be quoted when appropriate. This does not apply to the line parameter, which is always passed as is.

Parameters

AttributeTypeDescriptionRequired
dirdirectory The value for a directory-based command-line argument; will be replaced with the absolute path of the directory. False
filefile The name of a file as a single command-line argument; will be replaced with the absolute filename of the file. False
ifbool Indicates if the argument should be passed to the external program. If true then the argument will be passed; otherwise, skipped. The default is true. False
linestring List of command-line arguments; will be passed to the executable as is. False
path<path> The value for a PATH-like command-line argument; you can use : or ; as path separators and NAnt will convert it to the platform's local conventions, while resolving references to environment variables. False
unlessbool Indicates if the argument should not be passed to the external program. If false then the argument will be passed; otherwise, skipped. The default is false. False
valuestring A single command-line argument; can contain space characters. False

Nested Elements:

<path>

Sets a single command-line argument and treats it like a PATH - ensures the right separator for the local platform is used.
