Turns out that there are some clever and powerful tools in Visual Studio 2005 and 2008 for working with the Management Classes (although couldn’t find it in the “Standard Edition” installed on this machine, definitely exists in my laptop’s Visual Studio). You can use Server Explorer to navigate a treeview to your management class (in this example, the Printers node), right-click on it and select “Generate Managed Class”. This will automagically create a strongly-typed C#.Net class representing the object model of the WMI Printers Class, with all its properties and methods.

The CLR offers us no way to tell if memory is getting tight. Many think that this API provides the best solution. This is mentioned by Jeffrey Richter in his book 'CLR via C#' ISBN: 0-7356-2163-2. It is useful in determining if your system is under excessive memory load by looking at the dwMemoryLoad member of the MEMORYSTATUSEX structure. If this value is > 80 (per Mr. Richter in his discussion of Garbage Collection), it is an indication that you might want to consider converting some strong references into weak references. Remember that a weakreference type will be collected when Generation 0 is full, so it is not a good technique for caching (as many seem to think).

        /// A SystemTime structure that contains a date and local time when the transition from standard time to daylight saving time occurs on this operating system. If the time zone does not support daylight saving time or if the caller needs to disable daylight saving time, the wMonth member in the SystemTime structure must be zero. If this date is specified, the StandardDate value in the TimeZoneInformation structure must also be specified. Otherwise, the system assumes the time zone data is invalid and no changes will be applied.
