                    newDashboardName,     _
                    newColumnCount,       _
                    newRowVerticalLimit)

    ' Create the new dashboard object.
    Set newDashboard = connection.Get("SMS_ReportDashboard").SpawnInstance_
    
    ' Populate the new dashboard properties.
    newDashboard.Name = newDashboardName
    newDashboard.ColumnCount = newColumnCount
    newDashboard.RowVerticalLimit =  newRowVerticalLimit
            
    ' Save the new dashboard and properties.
    newDashboard.Put_ 
    
    ' Output the dashboard name.
    Wscript.Echo "Created new dashboard: " & newDashboardName                  
                                    
End Sub

public void CreateDashboard(WqlConnectionManager connection,
                            string newDashboardName,
                            string newColumnCount,
                            string newRowVerticalLimit)
{
    try
    {
        // Create new dashboard object.
        IResultObject newDashboard = connection.CreateInstance("SMS_ReportDashboard");

        // Populate new dashboard properties.
        newDashboard["Name"].StringValue = newDashboardName;
        newDashboard["ColumnCount"].StringValue = newColumnCount;
        newDashboard["RowVerticalLimit"].StringValue = newRowVerticalLimit;

        // Save the new dashboard and new dashboard properties.
        newDashboard.Put();

        // Output the new dashboard name.
        Console.WriteLine("Created dashboard: " + newDashboardName);
    }
    catch (SmsException ex)
    {
        Console.WriteLine("Failed to create dashboard. Error: " + ex.Message);
