This class provides an entry point for a namespace extension. It is the entry point for custom code execution.

Namespace: Microsoft.ManagementConsole.Advanced
Assembly: Microsoft.ManagementConsole (in Microsoft.ManagementConsole.dll)

Constructors

	Name	Description
	NamespaceExtension()	Initializes a new instance of the NamespaceExtension class.

Properties

	Name	Description
	Console	Gets the console object that exposes the functionality of the main MMC console window. (Inherited from NamespaceSnapInBase.)
	Id	Gets the identifier for the instance of the snap-in. The identifier is unique across snap-in instances within a console. (Inherited from SnapInBase.)
	InvokeRequired	Gets a value that indicates whether the caller must call the Invoke or the BeginInvoke methods when calling a method on a snap-in component. This distinction is necessary when the caller is on a different thread than the thread that the snap-in was created on. (Inherited from SnapInBase.)
	IsModified	Gets or sets a flag that tells the MMC runtime whether the snap-in has data that needs to be saved. (Inherited from NamespaceSnapInBase.)
	LargeImages	Gets the list of 32 x 32 images for the snap-in and its elements. (Inherited from NamespaceSnapInBase.)
	PrimaryNode	Gets the primary node that is extended.
	SmallImages	Gets the list of 16 x 16 images for the snap-in and its elements. (Inherited from NamespaceSnapInBase.)
	Tag	Gets or sets an object that contains application-specific information that is associated with the snap-in.(Inherited from SnapInBase.)

Methods

	Name	Description
	BeginInvoke(Delegate)	Executes the specified delegate asynchronously on the thread that the snap-in was created on.(Inherited from SnapInBase.)
	BeginInvoke(Delegate, Object[])	Executes the specified delegate with its specified arguments on the main thread that the snap-in was created on. (Inherited from SnapInBase.)
	EndInvoke(IAsyncResult)	Waits until the process that was started by calling BeginInvoke completes. This method then retrieves the return value of the asynchronous operation identified by the result parameter. (Inherited from SnapInBase.)
	Equals(Object)	(Inherited from Object.)
	Finalize()	(Inherited from Object.)
	GetHashCode()	(Inherited from Object.)
	GetType()	(Inherited from Object.)
	Invoke(Delegate)	Executes the delegate on the main thread that the snap-in executes on. (Inherited from SnapInBase.)
	Invoke(Delegate, Object[])	Executes the delegate on the main thread that the snap-in executes on. (Inherited from SnapInBase.)
	MemberwiseClone()	(Inherited from Object.)
	OnInitialize()	Called when a snap-in is initialized. It allows derived classes to provide additional initialization. (Inherited from SnapInBase.)
	OnLoadCustomData(AsyncStatus, Byte[])	Passes data that is contained in the console file to the snap-in. (Inherited from NamespaceSnapInBase.)
	OnRetrievePersistenceKey()	Called when namespace extension persistence occurs to get instance-specific data.
	OnSaveCustomData(SyncStatus)	Retrieves a serializable object that the snap-in can persist into a binary section in the console file. (Inherited from NamespaceSnapInBase.)
	OnSharedDataChanged(SharedDataItem)	Called when published data on the primary node changes.
	OnShutdown(AsyncStatus)	Called when the snap-in is shutting down. Once this call returns, actions which modify the console, such as adding nodes, or modifying view descriptions, are not honored. (Inherited from SnapInBase.)
	RegisterCurrentThreadForUI()	Called on a background thread to register it as a candidate for showing pop-up UI. (Inherited from SnapInBase.)
	ShowHelpTopic(String)	Displays a help topic. (Inherited from SnapInBase.)
	ToString()	(Inherited from Object.)
	UnregisterCurrentThreadForUI()	Called on a background thread to unregister it as a candidate for showing pop-up UI. (Inherited from SnapInBase.)
	UpdateSnapInExtensions()	Updates MMC's internal cache of available extensions for the snap-in. (Inherited from NamespaceSnapInBase.)
