	[Description("The FileSystemFlags property is deprecated in favor of FileSystemFlagsEx"): ToSubClass] uint16 FileSystemFlags;
	[Description("The FileSystemFlagsEx property indicates the file system flags associated with the Win32 CD-ROM drive. This parameter can be any combination of flags. FS_FILE_COMPRESSION and FS_VOL_IS_COMPRESSED are mutually exclusive.\nExample: 0."): ToSubClass, BitValues{"Case Sensitive Search", "Case Preserved Names", "Unicode On Disk", "Persistent ACLs", "File Compression", "Volume Quotas", "Supports Sparse Files", "Supports Reparse Points", "Supports Remote Storage", "Supports Long Names", "Volume Is Compressed", "Supports Object IDs", "Supports Encryption", "Supports Named Streams"}: ToSubClass] uint32 FileSystemFlagsEx;

	[Description("The Manufacturer property indicates the manufacturer of the Win32 CD-ROM drive.\nExample: PLEXTOR"): ToSubClass] string Manufacturer;
	[Description("The MaximumComponentLength property indicates the maximum length of a filename component supported by the Win32 CD-ROM drive. A filename component the portion of a filename between backslashes. The value can be used to indicate that long names are supported by the specified file system. For example, for a FAT file system supporting long names, the function stores the value 255, rather than the previous 8.3 indicator. Long names can also be supported on systems that use the NTFS file system.\nExample: 255."): ToSubClass] uint32 MaximumComponentLength;
	[Description("The MediaType property indicates the type of media used or accessed by this device. In this class, the value will always be \"CD-ROM\"."): ToSubClass, Values{"Random Access", "Supports Writing", "Removable Media", "CD-ROM"}: ToSubClass] string MediaType;
	[Description("The RevisionLevel property indicates the firmware revision level of the Win32 CD-ROM drive."): ToSubClass] string RevisionLevel;
	[Description("The MfrAssignedRevisionLevel property indicates the manufacturer assigned firmware revision level of the CDROM drive.\n"): ToSubClass] string MfrAssignedRevisionLevel;
	[Description("The SCSITargetId property indicates the SCSI ID number of the Win32 CD-ROM drive.\nExample: 0."): ToSubClass] uint16 SCSITargetId;
	[Description("The VolumeName property indicates the volume name of the Win32 CD-ROM drive."): ToSubClass] string VolumeName;
	[Description("The VolumeSerialNumber property indicates the volume serial number of the media in the CD-ROM drive.\nExample: A8C3-D032"): ToSubClass] string VolumeSerialNumber;
	[Description("The TransferRate property indicates the CD-ROM drive's transfer rate. A value of -1 indicates that the rate could not be determined. This could potentially happen, for example, if the CD is not in the drive."): ToSubClass] Real64 TransferRate;
	[Description("The DriveIntegrity property indicates whether files can be accurately read from the CD device. This is achieved by reading a block of data twice and comparing the data against itself."): ToSubClass] boolean DriveIntegrity;
	[Description("The MediaLoaded property indicates whether a CD-ROM is in the drive.\nValues: TRUE or FALSE. If TRUE, the CD is in the drive."): ToSubClass] boolean MediaLoaded;
	[Description("The SCSIBus property indicates the SCSI bus number for the disk drive.\nExample: 0"): ToSubClass] uint32 SCSIBus;
	[Description("The SCSILogicalUnit property indicates the SCSI logical unit number (LUN) of the disk drive.  The LUN is used to designate which SCSI controller is being accessed in a system with more than one controller being used. The SCSI device ID is similar, but is the designation for multiple devices on one controller.\nExample: 0"): ToSubClass] uint16 SCSILogicalUnit;
	[Description("The SCSIPort property indicates the SCSI port number of the disk drive.\nExample: 1"): ToSubClass] uint16 SCSIPort;
	[Description("The Size property indicates the size of the disk drive."): ToSubClass] uint64 Size;

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.
