I could only find a few examples.

Thank you a lot.

Answer 1

Have a look at the classes in the System.Management namespace.

Answer 2

Oh Lord, no. WMI is farking painful in C++, System.Management is a very nice wrapper around the COM code you'd have to write in C++. You don't even have to write the C# code yourself. Download the WMI Code Creator Tool, it lets you play with the queries and it automatically generates the C# code to cut-and-paste into your project.
