<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

Attribute	Type	Description	Required
wmiclass	string	Specifies the name of the WMI class to generate the strongly typed class	True
language	string	Specifies the language in which to generate the class. Possible values are: CS, VB, JS	False
machine	string	Specifies the machine to connect to.	False
namespace	string	Namespace of the generated .NET class	False
out	string	Path of the file to generate	False
password	string	Password to use when connecting to the specified machine	False
path	string	Specifies the path to the WMI namespace that contains the class.	False
username	string	User name to use when connecting to the specified machine	False
failonerror	bool	Determines if task failure stops the build, or is just reported. The default is true.	False
if	bool	If true then the task will be executed; otherwise, skipped. The default is true.	False
timeout	int	The maximum amount of time the application is allowed to execute, expressed in milliseconds. Defaults to no time-out.	False
unless	bool	Opposite of `if`. If false then the task will be executed; otherwise, skipped. The default is false.	False
verbose	bool	Determines whether the task should report detailed build log messages. The default is false.	False

Framework-configurable parameters

Attribute	Type	Description	Required
exename	string	The name of the executable that should be used to launch the external program.	False
useruntimeengine	bool	Specifies whether the external program 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.

Parameters

Attribute	Type	Description	Required
dir	directory	The value for a directory-based command-line argument; will be replaced with the absolute path of the directory.	False
file	file	The name of a file as a single command-line argument; will be replaced with the absolute filename of the file.	False
if	bool	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
line	string	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
unless	bool	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
value	string	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.

</path>

Examples

A single command-line argument containing a space character.
```
<arg value="-l -a" />
    
```
Two separate command-line arguments.
```
<arg line="-l -a" />
    
```
A single command-line argument with the value \dir;\dir2;\dir3 on DOS-based systems and /dir:/dir2:/dir3 on Unix-like systems.
```
<arg path="/dir;/dir2:\dir3" />
    
```

</arg>

Examples

<mgmtclassgen 
    wmiclass="Win32_LogicalDisk" 
    language="CS"
    machine="SomeMachine"
    path="Root\cimv2"
    namespace="Winterdom.WMI"
    out="${outputdir}\LogicalDisk.cs"
    username="Administrator"
    password="password"
/>
