Public Function EnumerateReferencingInstances (
    namespaceName As String,
    sourceInstance As CimInstance,
    associationClassName As String,
    sourceRole As String,
    options As CimOperationOptions
) As IEnumerable(Of CimInstance)

Parameters

• namespaceName
  Type: System.String

  A null-terminated string that contains the optional namespace name to carry out the operation. If none is specified, the server will pick a default. The namespace cannot include a computer name. It can only be in the form of a namespace name separated by a slash mark character (/). For example, the following would be a valid namespaceName value: root/cimv2.

• sourceInstance
  Type: Microsoft.Management.Infrastructure.CimInstance

  A CimInstance object that contains the class name and the keys of the instance where the association will start.

• associationClassName
  Type: System.String

  A null-terminated string that contains the optional value that specifies to map the association by using only this association class. If this value is NULL, then any association class will be used.

• sourceRole
  Type: System.String

  A null-terminated string that contains the property name in the association object that points to the key object.

• options
  Type: Microsoft.Management.Infrastructure.Options.CimOperationOptions

  A CimOperationOptions object that specifies options, such as timeouts, and how to control the CIM semantics.

Return Value

Type: System.Collections.Generic.IEnumerable<CimInstance>

An IEnumerable<T> interface that can be used to enumerate the instances.
