Here’s how to connect to remote computer’s WMI database

if (Dns.GetHostName() == strHostName)
{
mgmtScope = new ManagementScope(“\\\\” + strHostName+ “\\root\\cimv2″);
}
else
{
options = new ConnectionOptions();
options.Username = strUserName;
options.Password = strPassword;

// scope object for remote machine
mgmtScope = new ManagementScope(“\\\\” + strHostName + “\\root\\cimv2″,options);

}

// connect to machine to monitor. Return 0 if not able to connect
try
{
mgmtScope.Connect();
}
catch (System.UnauthorizedAccessException)
{
return 0;
}
catch (System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException)
{
return 0;
}
catch
{
return 0;
}

To get the CPU utilization, call the WMI query “Win32_PerfRawData_PerfOS_Processor”

// CPU %
mPath_CPU = new ManagementPath();
mPath_CPU.RelativePath = “Win32_PerfRawData_PerfOS_Processor.Name=’0′”;
mObject_CPU = new ManagementObject(mgmtScope,mPath_CPU,null);

To retrieve available memory, use “Win32_PerfRawData_PerfOS_Memory”

mPath_Mem = new ManagementPath();
mPath_Mem.RelativePath = “Win32_PerfRawData_PerfOS_Memory”;
mc = new ManagementClass(mgmtScope,mPath_Mem,null);

Reading files using StreamReader
Use of LINQ to query from Collection

SAMPLE CODES/TECHNIQUES
Below is the code for reading the log file. It uses StreamReader namespace to parse the file line by line.

private bool ReadLog(string LogPath)
{
bool lreturn = true;

FileInfo[] d;
DirectoryInfo dir = new DirectoryInfo(@LogPath);
if (dir.Exists)
{
d = dir.GetFiles(Settings.Default.LOG_EXTENSION);

foreach (FileInfo f in d)
{
try
{
WriteLog(“Reading file ” + f.Name + “…”);
StreamReader tmpstream = File.OpenText(@f.FullName);
string strraw = tmpstream.ReadLine();
while (strraw != null)
{
string[] strinfo1 = strraw.Split(new string[] { ” – - ” }, StringSplitOptions.None);
string[] strcmd = ReadRaw(strinfo1[1]).Split(new char[] { ‘|’ });
WriteLog(“Inserting to database the reading from ” + strinfo1[0] + “…”);
if (SaveToDB(strinfo1[0], strcmd))
{
WriteLog(“Successfully inserted.”, Color.Blue);
}
strraw = tmpstream.ReadLine();

}
tmpstream.Close();
WriteLog(“Moving file to ” + @Settings.Default.FINISH_FOLDER);
f.MoveTo(@Settings.Default.FINISH_FOLDER + “\\” + f.Name);
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
lreturn = false;
WriteLog(“Error while reading file. ” + ex.Message, Color.Red);
}
}
}
else
{
WriteLog(“Directory does not exist. “, Color.Red);
}
return lreturn;
}

Query from Class collection using LINQ

clsAccountables accs = new clsAccountables();
var linqaccs = (from clsAccountable o in accs
where o.Accountable.Trim().ToLower() != “test”
select o.Accountable).Distinct();
cboAccountable.Items.Clear();
cboAccountable.Items.Add(“Unknown”);
foreach (var linqacc in linqaccs)
{
cboAccountable.Items.Add(linqacc.ToString());
}
