Solved it - the problem is a really easy but seemingly stupid one.
(@"\\SERVERNAME\root\sms\site_PR1");
This is wrong (in terms of this project) it must be displayed as:
("\\\\SERVERNAME\\root\\sms\\site_PR1");

Using wbemtest both of them result in the same correct outcome for me. Just not in the code. It's frustrating that the SDK doesn't document how to add a computer to a particular collection.

by the way yje query works fine when run in wbemtest connected to the site detailed in the managementscope here

Hi Dave, was wondering if you could lend any more advice?

I have been trawling the internet all day for answers to my problem with no luck.

string query = "SELECT * WHERE SMS_Collection.Name = 'CollectionName'";

//METHOD ONE - DOESNT WORK - Errors with System.NotImplementedException (although it passes the validity test)

bool querybool = connection.IsQueryValid(query);if (querybool == true){

IResultObject iro = connection.QueryProcessor.ExecuteQuery(query);}

//METHOD 2 - DOESNT WORK - Errors with "INVALID QUERY"

WqlObjectQuery wqlQuery = new WqlObjectQuery(query);

ManagementScope ms = new ManagementScope(@"\\SERVERNAME\root\sms\site_PR1");

ManagementObjectSearcher searcher = new ManagementObjectSearcher(ms,wqlQuery);

ManagementObjectCollection moc = searcher.Get();

Do you have any ideas as to why these methods dont work?

ok thank you, i'll get looking into that. You have been a massive help :)

Hi Dave - Thank you very much for this reply - it has helped me greatly. I now have some code that will add the computer to a collection, however the collection instance is searched for based on collectionID.

IResultObject collection = connection.GetInstance("SMS_Collection.collectionId=" + "'" + collectionName + "'");

I have tried to search via the collection name as i have seen in the SMS_Collection class that this is a valid field - but im getting errors that its thr wrong object path.

IResultObject collection = connection.GetInstance("SMS_Collection.Name=" + "'" + collectionName + "'");

Can you offer me any advice here at all?

Thank you very much

Correction, realised i had the cmdlets it was erroring on commented out (to see that the variables were going in ok). Still have the same problem :( Is there a specific way to ensure that the c# app runs a 32-bit version of powershell on a 64-bit OS?

MitchG92_24 26-Apr-13 6:23am View

Thank you, that worked perfectly! My scirpt is now running fine.
thanks for the help :)

MitchG92_24 26-Apr-13 6:08am View

Sorry Zoltan - forgot to include my powershell script. I import the module within the script itself. Do you think it is better practice to do it via c#?
I have included my script in the question now.

Thank you, very useful site. I ended up using:

SqlConnection connection = new SqlConnection("Server=SERVERNAME; Initial Catalog=DATABASENAME; Integrated Security=SSPI; connection timeout=30");

And contacted the stored procedure by:

SqlCommand spcmd = new SqlCommand(storedProcedure, connection);
spcmd.CommandType = System.Data.CommandType.StoredProcedure;

Sorry, I've been trial and erroring to no avail, so i was hoping for the syntax for the connectionString that i need as i can't find that anywhere. And i'd like to pass string and int values that belong to EventLog Class.

MitchG92_24 14-Nov-12 5:22am View

It hasn't worked for my use as it needs to operate on earlier .NET frameworks but it is a very useful feature so i shall be using in the future!

MitchG92_24 29-Oct-12 11:38am View

Hi E.F Nijboer, when i am at my dev machine I will try these. Even if it doesn't work for my particular problem i'm sure for others this may come in handy, I will mark as solution

MitchG92_24 29-Oct-12 10:15am View

Sorry, I understand I can still use the project just as well as before, but it's just niggling away at me.
In the future when the application has been released I would like the opportunity of debugging the project in runtime for maintenance or bugs, which to the best of my knowledge can be done if ran from the debug folder.

MitchG92_24 17-Oct-12 3:14am View

I know how to do the actual change of orientation. But it won't allow me to reference the WrapPanel. I feel this is because it is in a template so isnt instantiated until runtime. I've tried finding the control by name way about it but no luck.
It is needed on the code behind because as the items within the WrapPanel change, it needs to switch orientation depending on that.

The link in question is the full file path to the .exe that launches the application

MitchG92_24 4-Oct-12 3:04am View

sorry, I'm running a WPF application. The process being ran is an external application e.g Internet Explorer. I'm only hoping to apply this to applications with a GUI

There is a quick fix to this programmatically:

string progfiles = Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolder.ProgramFiles);
if (progfiles.EndsWith("(x86)"))
{
progfiles = progfiles.Replace(" (x86)", "");
}
string progfilesx86 = Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolder.ProgramFilesX86);

Thanks Kuthuparakkal, i should really pay attention to these background settings!

MitchG92_24 11-Sep-12 4:35am View

Thanks Carl! i was under the impression i had to run wscript.exe with my vbs file as an argument but alot clearer your way thanks!

MitchG92_24 7-Sep-12 3:50am View

Thanks Gjersøe! worked perfectly!

MitchG92_24 31-Jul-12 4:58am View

Thanks Amit, i posted on that forum too and was informed that the sync state of the cached folders is not exposed through the outlook object model or extended MAPI. Very helpful links though!

MitchG92_24 31-Jul-12 4:47am View

Yes sorry this is using C#, and im using the Microsoft Outlook 14.0 Object Library
