This thread is for discussions of Using WMI From Managed Code.

Using WMI is it possible to specify folder security rights for the user groups specified.

I am unable to detect my Network Printer's IP Address / Hostname. Is there something wrong in my code below?

ConnectionOptions myConnectionOptions = new ConnectionOptions();

myConnectionOptions.Impersonation = ImpersonationLevel.Impersonate;

myConnectionOptions.Authentication = System.Management.AuthenticationLevel.Packet;

string myServerName = ".";

ManagementScope myManagementScope = new ManagementScope(@"\root\cimv2");

myManagementScope.Connect();

SelectQuery selectQuery = new SelectQuery();

selectQuery.QueryString = String.Format("SELECT * FROM Win32_TCPIPPrinterPort WHERE Name = 'IP_10.25.1.221'");

ManagementObjectSearcher managementObjectSearcher = new ManagementObjectSearcher(myManagementScope, selectQuery);

foreach (ManagementObject objMgmt in managementObjectSearcher.Get())

{

if (objMgmt["Caption"].ToString()== "")

{

...

}

}

}

catch (Exception err) { Console.WriteLine("Err:"+ err.Message); }

Hope you can advise me..

Is the full source code available?  There's too many gaps in the snippets.  Not a C# guy - really need VB.net ... not a VB.net guy either, but need to do this in SSIS Script Component which is SSIS.  One section of snippet doesn't even tell where to put the code fragment ... left to guess.

 Or is there something simpler out there ... just need a code fragment to create a local print that is set to print to a file locally.
