wmi CIM_LogicalDisk reference for Network Programming in .NET with C# & Visual Basic .NET (VB.NET)

WMI class ' CIM_LogicalDisk ' reference for C# and VB.NET

MOF Reference

[Description("A LogicalDisk is a presentation of a contiguous range of logical blocks that is identifiable by a FileSystem via the Disk's DeviceId (key) field. For example in a Windows environment, the DeviceID field would contain a drive letter. In a Unix environment, it would contain the access path; and in a NetWare environment, DeviceID would contain the volume name. LogicalDisks are typically built on a DiskPartition or StorageVolume (for example, exposed by a software volume manager) using the LogicalDiskBasedOnPartition or LogicalDiskBasedOnVolume associations. However, it can be based on other StorageExtents, like CIM_Memory, in the case of a RAM disk. The latter is described using the LogicalDiskBasedOnExtent relationship. (Indeed, the BasedOnExtent association is the superclass for the BasedOnPartition and BasedOnVolume relationships.)"): ToSubClass, AMENDMENT, LOCALE(1033)]

WMI is a huge subject, so therefore it is practically impossible to provide a comprehensive example program that covers anything. However, the book “Network programming in .NET” (Buy at Amazon UK) (Buy at Amazon US) covers a much wider scope of WMI, and explains how to leverage it to access the bounty of information held within this vast, yet simple object model.
