Answer 1

Hi Nafza,

WMI is not supported in Windows Store apps. There is no API for controlling Hyper-V.

Hi Rob,

Thanks for your reply. But I can access Powershell through WCF service which allows me to call cmdlets related to Hyper-V. 

I came across an app in the store which can show the Hyper-V virtual machine thumbnail view inside the gridview.

Thus, is it possible? 

Thanks.

You can connect to web services on remote systems. Those web services can do whatever web services can do.

There is no direct API callable by Windows Store apps.
