Hello Sam:

Greetings and thanks. I really appreciate your help in this matter.

As suggested by you, I Installed the SDK and am purusing the Documentation.

As for your qs about using WBEMTest, yes, I have used it.

WHat I am trying to do is develop a small WebPage(s) application. Visualize,
if you will, 3 list boxes - lb1, lb2 and lb3. The application will not be
doing any 'Instrumentation'; at least at this time.

The first list box will have the Providers from the root\cimv2 namespace. I
do not need to see or capture all the providers [for e.g Active Directory,
which is a Provider but from a different namespace, root\directory\ldap and
so on.] Now, I want to know what SQL / WQL I need to write to capture this
info to populate my lb1. If I can do this, I can say I am well on my way to
completing my tasks in terms of populating the lb2 and lb3. Just so I am
clear, for any item selectedin lb1, will show the corresponding objects in
the lb2. For the item selected in lb2, similarly, will populate the class
items in the lb3.

I hope i make myself clear now. In my view, these should be fairly
straight-forward queries that can be created and executed ina C# program to
populate the various listboxes. However, I am hitting a road bump!

Again, thanks for your reading, patience and help!
