using System;
using System.Management;

public class Example
{
    public static void Main()
    {
        ManagementClass c = new ManagementClass();
        c.Path.ClassName = "Win32_Process";

        foreach (MethodData m in c.Methods)
            Console.WriteLine(
                "The class contains this method: {0}", m.Name);
        return;
    }
}

Imports System.Management

Public Class Sample

    Public Shared Function Main(ByVal args() _
        As String) As Integer

        Dim c As New ManagementClass
        c.Path.ClassName = "Win32_Process"

        Dim m As MethodData
        For Each m In c.Methods
            Console.WriteLine( _
                "The class contains the method : {0}", m.Name)
        Next m

        Return 0
    End Function
End Class

Remarks

When the property is set to a new value, the ManagementClass will be disconnected from any previously-bound WMI class. Reconnect to the new WMI class path.
