Question

I have a bit of code to grab some information from WMI in C#, for the monitors hooked up to a computer. The code is like this…

String queryString = "Select * from Win32_DesktopMonitor";
ManagementObjectSearcher searcher = new ManagementObjectSearcher(queryString)
foreach (ManagementObject obj in searcher.Get())
{
    ...
}

How can I find out how many objects are being returned from this query, without counting during enumeration?

Very new to this, so be gentle! 🙂

I think you have to run the Get() function in order to get the number of objects:

  String queryString = "Select * from Win32_DesktopMonitor";
  ManagementObjectSearcher searcher = new ManagementObjectSearcher(queryString);
  MessageBox.Show("Found: " + searcher.Get().Count.ToString());
