Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) makes Windows extremely manageable using a single consistent, standards-based, extensible and object-orientated interface. WMI is the Microsoft implementation of Web-Based Enterprise Management (WBEM), an industry initiative to develop a standard technology for accessing management information in an enterprise environment. This initiative helps companies lower their total cost of ownership by enabling powerful management of systems, applications and devices. Here is a simple demo of how to get processor information using WMI Step-By-Step Example - Create a standard exe project - Add one command button and one listbox on the form1 - Add the following code
