Microsoft.ManagementConsole Namespace

 

This namespace contains the framework of classes required for managed snap-in development.

Classes

	Class	Description
	Action	This is a sealed class that represents an action that is defined by a snap-in. This action may be exposed through various UI elements. An instance of the Action class creates a Triggered event when the action is triggered.
	ActionBase	Provides the end-user with a representation of an action that is defined by a snap-in. This action may be exposed through various UI elements.
	ActionEventArgs	This is a sealed class that provides information for the Triggered event that occurs on an Action object.
	ActionGroup	This is a sealed class that represents a group of actions. This submenu may be exposed through various UI elements such as the actions pane or context menu.
	ActionSeparator	Represents a separator between GUI elements.
	ActionsPaneExtendedItem	This is the virtual base class for various actions pane elements. It is used for both the actions pane and the context menu.
	ActionsPaneItem	Represents an element that is exposed to the user through the UI. Some examples of items in the actions pane are an action, a separator, and an action group.

	MessageViewDescription	This is a sealed class that encapsulates all the information that is required to create and describe a message view.
	MmcListView	Provides a standard MMC view that allows the results pane to be populated with a list of items. All classes that are derived from this type must have a public default constructor defined.
	MmcListViewColumn	Represents a single column in a list view.
	MmcListViewColumnCollection	This is a sealed class that represents a collection of columns in a list view.
	MmcListViewDescription	Provides the information that is required when creating an instance of the MmcListView class.
	NamespaceSnapInBase	An abstract base class that provides functionality that is common to stand-alone snap-ins and extension snap-ins.
	Node	An abstract base class that represents a managed entity of a snap-in.
	NodeId	Identifies a scope node in a managed or unmanaged snap-in.
	NodeSubItemDisplayNameCollection	Represents a collection of sub-item display name strings for a node.
	NodeTypeAttribute	This is a sealed class that describes an optional node attribute for defining the registration information for a node. This attribute is applicable to a scope node. The value of this attribute contains the node type GUID of the scope node.
	PropertyPage	Creates a property page using a Windows Forms control.
	PropertyPageCollection	This is a sealed class that represents a collection of PropertyPage objects.
	PropertySheet	This is a sealed class that provides a container for property pages. It forwards notification and requests to corresponding pages and issues commands that originate from individual pages.
	PublishesNodeTypeAttribute	This is a sealed class that is used to define the registration information for a node. If a node does not have this attribute, it cannot be registered as an extensible node. This attribute is applicable to a snap-in. Its value contains the node type GUID for a scope node or for a selected item in a view that can be extended. More than one PublishesNodeType attributes are applicable to a snap-in.
	ResultNode	Represents a node in the list view of a results pane.
	ResultNodeCollection	This is a sealed class that represents a collection of ResultNode objects.
	ScopeNode	Represents a node that defines a scope in the MMC scope namespace.
	ScopeNodeCollection	This is a sealed class that represents a collection of ScopeNode objects.
	SelectedNodeCollection	This sealed class represents a collection of selected nodes in a list view. This collection cannot be modified by the snap-in.
	SelectionData	This is a sealed class that contains data about selected items in a view.
	SharedData	Represents a set of SharedDataItem objects. It is used by extensions to access the data that is published by a primary snap-in.
	SharedDataItem	Represents a single item of data that is shared between a primary snap-in and an extension snap-in.
	SharedDataItemBase	Represents a single piece of data that is published through a SharedData object. This data is passed to extension snap-ins to provide a context for the extension.
	SnapIn	Provides the main entry point for the creation of a snap-in.
	SnapInAboutAttribute	This is a sealed class that describes the attribute that is used to define the localized "About" information for a snap-in. A single instance of SnapInAboutAttribute may be applied to any class that is derived from the SnapInBase class.
	SnapInBase	Provides an implementation of functionality that is common to both stand-alone snap-ins and extension snap-ins. It provides synchronization services for snap-ins.
	SnapInCallbackService	This is a static class that manages the callbacks that are registered by a snap-in.
	SnapInHelpTopicAttribute	This is a sealed class that specifies the Help file and topic associated with a snap-in. This attribute is optional.
	SnapInImageList	Encapsulates the characteristics of a snap-in image list. It triggers events when images are added to or removed from the collection.
	SnapInInstaller	Utilizes reflection to search for the snap-ins that are defined within the currently loaded assembly. The resulting metadata is then used to populate or remove register entries that correspond to each snap-in. For each assemblies in which snap-ins are defined, a class that is derived from the SnapInInstaller class must exist with the RunInstallerAttribute set to true. Unless additional assembly registration needs to be performed, this derived class declaration does not need to override any of the SnapInInstaller virtual methods. The derived class provides an entry point for tools such as InstallUtil.exe to execute the framework installer code. The SnapInInstaller class is the base class for snap-in registration.
	SnapInLinkedHelpTopicAttribute	This is a sealed class that specifies a linked Help topic that is associated with a snap-in. This attribute is optional.
	SnapInSettingsAttribute	Defines the registration information for a snap-in. A single instance may be applied to a class that is derived from snap-in.
	Status	This is the base class that allows the snap-in to provide the status information on the progress of operations.
	SyncAction	Represents an action that is defined by a snap-in. This action may be exposed through various UI elements to the end user.
	SyncActionEventArgs	Represents the event argument that holds information about an event triggered on a SyncAction object.
	SyncStatus	The SyncStatus class is a sealed class that contains the status information for synchronous operations that show a wait dialog in MMC. The snap-in is allowed to enable cancel functionality on the dialog and poll for user cancellation.
	View	This is the base class for defining MMC views. Snap-in developers provide specializations that are derived from this class. Instances of this class are created on the same thread as the snap-in. There is a derived View class for each type of supported view.
	ViewDescription	This is the abstract base class that describes the type of view to present when a node is selected. View descriptions provide MMC with the information that is needed to create a view instance. The framework provides derived versions of the ViewDescription class for each kind of supported view. Instances of these derived classes are added to the ViewDescriptions collection of the scope node. There are four derived view description classes, one for each type of view.
	ViewDescriptionCollection	This is a sealed class that represents a collection of ViewDescription objects.
	WritableSharedData	Represents a set of writable shared data items. It is used by scope nodes to publish data to extensions.
	WritableSharedDataItem	Represents a single item of published data. Published data is data that is shared between primary and extension snap-ins.

Interfaces

	Interface	Description
	IFormViewControl	This interface is implemented by a control hosted in an MMC Windows Forms view to interact with the corresponding FormView object.
	IResultNodeComparer	Defines the methods that are used to compare two result node instances in a list view.

Delegates

	Delegate	Description
	Action.ActionEventHandler	Represents the method that handles the event for an action.
	SnapInCallbackService.SnapInHelpTopicCallback	This is the delegate used by the snap-in to provide its own custom help functionality.
