Example: Changing the ObjectClass Property

The following example shows how to change the value of the ObjectClass property of a CSEntry object. You can write to the ObjectClass property only in the IMVSynchronization.Provision method.

    Public Sub Provision( _
          ByVal mventry As MVEntry) _
       Implements IMVSynchronization.Provision
    
        Dim ManagementAgent As ConnectedMA
        Dim Connectors As Integer
        Dim csentry As CSEntry
        Dim vcObjectClass As ValueCollection
    
    
        ManagementAgent = mventry.ConnectedMAs("Some Management Agent")
        Connectors = ManagementAgent.Connectors.Count
    
        If 1 = Connectors Then
    
            ' Use the existing connector
            csentry = ManagementAgent.Connectors.ByIndex(0)
    
            ' Convert the existing ObjectClass entries to a string array
            vcObjectClass = Utils.ValueCollection(csentry.ObjectClass.ToStringArray())
    
            ' Add the auxiliary class to the string array and then
            ' set the ObjectClass to the modified string array
            vcObjectClass.Add("new-aux-class")
            csentry.ObjectClass = vcObjectClass
    
        End If
    
    End Sub

    void IMVSynchronization.Provision (MVEntry mventry)
    {
        ConnectedMA ManagementAgent;
        int Connectors;
        CSEntry csentry;
        ValueCollection vcObjecClass;
        
        ManagementAgent = mventry.ConnectedMAs["Some Management Agent"];
        Connectors = ManagementAgent.Connectors.Count;
        
        if(1 == Connectors)
        {
            // Use the existing connector
            csentry = ManagementAgent.Connectors.ByIndex[0];
            
            // Convert the existing ObjectClass entries to a string array.
            vcObjecClass = Utils.ValueCollection(csentry.ObjectClass.ToStringArray());
            
            // Add the auxiliary class to the string array and then
            // set the ObjectClass to the modified string array.
            vcObjecClass.Add("new-aux-class");
            csentry.ObjectClass= vcObjecClass;
        }
    }
