ManagementObjectCollection

Hi all,
I'm having trouble with getting an element from an Object of type ManagementObjectCollection without using a foreach statement.
I'm returning 1 ManagementObject from a WMI Query and would perfer to not use a foreach statement when only getting the 1 object.
Does anyone know how to do this correctly?
thanks,
Donal

If you are sure there is exactly one object, then you can index it directly.

Code:

---

ManagementObjectCollection moc = ... // get this from somewhere

if( moc.Count != 1 )
{
      // failure. throw excpetion ?
}

ManagementObject mo = moc[0];

---

I can't index it like you have shown:

ManagementObject mo = moc[0];
will throw a compiler error.

any other ideas?

This is C# code, but C++ should be similar. You can get the first element by initializing and using the enumerator. For example:
ManagementObjectSearcher query = new ManagementObjectSearcher(
"SELECT * FROM Win32_NetworkAdapterConfiguration WHERE Index = " + tbIndex.Text);
ManagementObjectCollection.ManagementObjectEnumera tor enumerator = query.Get().GetEnumerator();
enumerator.MoveNext();
ManagementObject mo = (ManagementObject)enumerator.Current;

What about just:

Code:

---

ManagementObject mo = moc.First();

---

Any class that implements IEnumerable (such as ManagementObjectCollection) should be able to use the First() method.

8 year old thread. Nice one.
