{
	[Description("The ActualColorResolution property indicates the current color depth of the video display.  \nThis property has been deprecated in favor of a corresponding property(s) contained in the Win32_VideoController, Win32_DesktopMonitor and//or CIM_VideoControllerResolution"): ToSubClass] uint32 ActualColorResolution;
	[Description("The AdapterChipType property contains the name of the adapter chip.\nExample: s3  \nThis property has been deprecated in favor of a corresponding property(s) contained in the Win32_VideoController, Win32_DesktopMonitor and//or CIM_VideoControllerResolution"): ToSubClass] string AdapterChipType;
	[key, Description("The AdapterCompatibility property specifies the name of the manufacturer of the adapter.

	[Description("The ColorPlanes property indicates the current number of color planes used in the video display.  A color plane is another way to represent pixel colors; instead of assigning a single RGB value to each a pixel, color planes separate the graphic into each of the primary color components (red green blue), and store them in their own planes.  This allows for greater color depths on 8 and 16 bit video systems.   Present graphics systems have the bitwidth large enough to store color depth information, making only one color plane necessary.\nExample: 1  \nThis property has been deprecated in favor of a corresponding property(s) contained in the Win32_VideoController, Win32_DesktopMonitor and//or CIM_VideoControllerResolution"): ToSubClass] uint32 ColorPlanes;
	[Description("The ColorTableEntries property indicates the number of color indexes in a color table for a video display. This property is used if the device has a color depth of no more than 8 bits per pixel.

	[Description("The DriverDate property indicates the date and time the current video driver was installed.  \nThis property has been deprecated in favor of a corresponding property(s) contained in the Win32_VideoController, Win32_DesktopMonitor and//or CIM_VideoControllerResolution"): ToSubClass] datetime DriverDate;

	[Description("The PixelsPerXLogicalInch property indicates the number of pixels per logical inch along the X axis (horizontal direction) of the display.  \nThis property has been deprecated in favor of a corresponding property(s) contained in the Win32_VideoController, Win32_DesktopMonitor and//or CIM_VideoControllerResolution"): ToSubClass] uint32 PixelsPerXLogicalInch;
	[Description("The PixelsPerYLogicalInch property indicates the number of pixels per logical inch along the Y axis (vertical direction) of the display.  \nThis property has been deprecated in favor of a corresponding property(s) contained in the Win32_VideoController, Win32_DesktopMonitor and//or CIM_VideoControllerResolution"): ToSubClass] uint32 PixelsPerYLogicalInch;

	[Description("The ScanMode property determines whether the display device is interlaced.  \nThis property has been deprecated in favor of a corresponding property(s) contained in the Win32_VideoController, Win32_DesktopMonitor and//or CIM_VideoControllerResolution"): ToSubClass, Values{"Non Interlaced", "Interlaced"}: ToSubClass] string ScanMode;
	[Description("The ScreenHeight property specifies the height of the physical screen.  \nThis property has been deprecated in favor of a corresponding property(s) contained in the Win32_VideoController, Win32_DesktopMonitor and//or CIM_VideoControllerResolution"): ToSubClass] uint32 ScreenHeight;

	[Description("The SystemPaletteEntries property indicates the current number of color index entries reserved for system use.

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.
