System.Manageme nt query

[Justin M via .NET 247]

Hi,

I'm trying to do asynchronous consumption of WMI events using System.Manageme nt.

Basically I want to monitor the connection status of Win32_NetworkAd apter. (i.e recieve events when it connects, disconnects)

I tried implementing and changing this code from msdn:

http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/de...mentevents.asp

I changed it to use:

Dim query As New WqlEventQuery(" __InstanceModif icationEvent", "TargetInst ance ISA 'Win32_NetworkA dapter'")

The problem is that it demands I use a WITHIN in the WQL (otherwise I get a "HRESULT: 0x80042002" error).

I don't want to use WITHIN because this causes the system to poll and use quite a bit of CPU.

How come the example on MSDN doesn't need WITHIN?

What are my options here? Should I even use System.Manageme nt?

Thanks for any help you may have
