System.Management

[eric]

I'm writing a program in C# and found a couple of threads about how to
check the status of a printer before sending it any data, to ensure
that the printer is ready to print. They say to include the
System.Manageme nt namespace. This is where my problem is, I have no
System.Manageme nt namespace. Could anyone help me locate it or a
reference to locate it?

RE: System.Manageme nt

If you have .Net 2.0 then it is in
c:\windows\Micr osoft.Net\v2.0\ SystemManagemen t.dll.

RE: System.Manageme nt

Actually I think that should be:

C:\WINDOWS\Micr osoft.NET\Frame work\<version>\ System.Manageme nt.dll

RE: System.Manageme nt

hi i've the same problem
when i type
using System.Manageme nt;
and compile the VS gives me an error indicating that there is no namespace
named System.Manageme nt
i've tried this both on VS 2003 and VS 2005 using C# using both frameworks
1.1 and 2.0
i was trying to make a windows based application using this namespace to
fingerprint machines to protect my software from piracy
here is a link fot that code
http://www.vbforums.com/showthread.php?t=250436&page=1
the funny thing that System.Manageme nt is documented on VS 2003 but still
the VS 2003 IDE doesn't recognize it as a valid namespace
it's also documented here
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/de...management.asp
please help i really need a fast answer for this problem
thanx in advance

RE: System.Manageme nt

Fady,
You have to set a hard reference in the project to the actual
System.Managmen t.dll assembly, its not standard in machine.config.

Hope that helps!

Peter

Re: System.Manageme nt

You have to add a reference to everything that's not in mscorlib.dll or
automatically referenced when you create a new project of a certain type (eg
Windows App will reference the dll with System.Windows. Forms).

There are several dlls because it would be inefficient to load and init a
load of stuff that you aren't going to use.

As I recall the documentation now tells you the name of the defining dll for
every class etc.

One reason why there are several dlls is to allow finer control of
versioning.

(Another reason for separate dlls is for separate assemblies because
otherwise the scope of 'internal' would be too large - I'm not a fan of
internal)
