Hey.:cool:
Im trying to get information about the network usage using WMI, things such as the current download/upload speed etc.
This is easily retrieved using the PerformanceCounter but I'd rather avoid using it as it requires hardcoded category names that are language dependant (or am I wrong?).
Im still fairly new to this whole WMI thing..
Do you have any example, link or anything else that might help me? Thank you.
Look at the Win32_NetworkAdapter class as it has a couple of properties that may be what you are looking for: Speed, Status and StatusInfo.
unfortunately the Speed property returned the max speed of the networkadapter, not the current speed..and the status and statusinfo didnt provide what I needed.:(
Check out the Win32_PerfFormattedData_Tcpip_NetworkInterface class. It has what you're looking for and more...

Wow! Looks very promising! How did you find that class? I thought I had searched everywhere:blush: I'll try it out and post back later.Quote:
