WMI query results to DataGrid

Question

Hi,

I'm trying to get the results of a WMI to display in a datagrid however the code executes without error yet the datagrid doesnt show any output

Try 
Dim scope As New ManagementScope("\\" & servername & "\root\MicrosoftDFS") 
scope.Connect() 
Dim query As New ObjectQuery("SELECT * FROM DfsrReplicatedFolderInfo") 
Dim searcher As New ManagementObjectSearcher(scope, query) 
Dim queryCollection As ManagementObjectCollection 
queryCollection = searcher.Get() 
DataGridView1.DataSource = queryCollection 

For Each
 queryObj As ManagementObject In searcher.Get() 
rtbOutput.AppendText(CStr(queryObj("ReplicationGroupName"))) 
Next 

The WMI query is working as the data can be appended to a textbox.

Many thanks for your help

Robbie, be aware you are not using a DataGrid, that is a complete different control (which has even more versions)

You are using a windows forms DataGridView which expect in its datasource an IBindinglist collection.

ManagementObjectCollection is a rather old collection not being that.

I'm not sure if the code on this page will do the job for you but I assume it does.

Thanks for this Cor, I'm sure what your suggesting will work but I've changed the way the data is not presented so I not proceeding this way now but thanks for your help.
