How to display wmi query results in vb.net web page

[CyberNet99]

I am trying to figure out how to be able to query a remote server using wmi and then display the results in an aspx web page using vb.net.

I have downloaded and am using the WMI Code Creator to browse and determine which WMI queries I want to use, but all of the vb.net code it generates uses the console as the output. I am still new to this level of vb.net web development and do not know how I can modify this code to display the wmi query results on a web page.

Here is a sample bit of WMI code that the tool generates to get the operating system, make and model of the remote system.

Imports System
Imports System.Management
Imports System.Windows.Forms
Namespace WMISample
   Public Class MyWMIQuery
       Public Overloads Shared Function Main() As Integer
           Try
               Dim searcher As New ManagementObjectSearcher( _
                   "root\CIMV2", _
                   "SELECT * FROM Win32_ComputerSystem") 
               For Each queryObj As ManagementObject in searcher.Get()
                   Console.WriteLine("-----------------------------------")
                   Console.WriteLine("Win32_ComputerSystem instance")
                   Console.WriteLine("-----------------------------------")
                   Console.WriteLine("Manufacturer: {0}", queryObj("Manufacturer"))
                   Console.WriteLine("Model: {0}", queryObj("Model"))
                   Console.WriteLine("Name: {0}", queryObj("Name"))
                   Console.WriteLine("TotalPhysicalMemory: {0}", queryObj("TotalPhysicalMemory"))
               Next
           Catch err As ManagementException
               MessageBox.Show("An error occurred while querying for WMI data: " & err.Message)
           End Try
       End Function
   End Class
End Namespace

I've been searching online with no solid examples on how to integrate wmi calls into a vb.net web page.

If anyone has any pointers or can assist in any way I would be very grateful for the help.

Thanks in advance,

Console.Write(string arg) the string arg is whatever you want to appear in the console.

So instead of using Console.Write(string arg) you can assign those same strings to Literal1.Text = string arg or you can populate a list with lstWhatever.Items.Add(string arg)

You're simply manipulating string data returned by WMI.
