Anyone know about the System.Management namespace or WMI development?

Just look at such a simple example:

      ManagementObject disk = new ManagementObject("win32_logicaldisk.deviceid=\"c:\"");
      disk.Get();
      Console.WriteLine("Disk size: "+disk["Size"]+"bytes");

I just don't under stand why the constructor of ManagementObject is something above, and I do not know that why the indexer property of the instance "disk" is "Size", and what else propery it could have.

Anyone can help me ?

It's all in the MSDN docs

You can read about the WMI object paths you pass tot he constructor at http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa390350(VS.85).aspx

You can read all about the Win32_LogicalDisk class and its properties at http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa394173.aspx

Note that for this particular piece of information, you can also use the System.IO.DriveInfo class.
