Absolute format specifies an exact date and time when standard time begins. In this form, the wYear, wMonth, wDay, wHour, wMinute, wSecond, and wMilliseconds members of the SYSTEMTIME structure are used to specify an exact date. \nDay-in-month format is specified by setting the wYear member to zero, setting the wDayOfWeek member to an appropriate weekday, and using a wDay value in the range 1 through 5 to select the correct day in the month. Using this notation, the first Sunday in April can be specified, as can the last Thursday in October (5 is equal to \"the last\"). "): ToSubClass] uint32 StandardDay;

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.
