PerformanceCounterCategory.GetInstanceNames Method

Definition

Retrieves the list of performance object instances that are associated with this category.

public:
 cli::array <System::String ^> ^ GetInstanceNames();
public string[] GetInstanceNames ();
member this.GetInstanceNames : unit -> string[]
Public Function GetInstanceNames () As String()

Returns

String[]

An array of strings representing the performance object instance names that are associated with this category or, if the category contains only one performance object instance, a single-entry array that contains an empty string ("").

Exceptions

The CategoryName property is null. The property might not have been set.

-or-

The category does not have an associated instance.

A call to an underlying system API failed.

Code that is executing without administrative privileges attempted to read a performance counter.

Examples

The following code example gets a list of the PerformanceCounter objects in a PerformanceCounterCategory. It first creates a PerformanceCounterCategory object, using the appropriate constructor based on whether a computer name was specified. It then uses GetInstanceNames to return the instance names as an array of String, which it sorts and displays.

public:
    static void Main(array<String^>^ args)
    {
        String^ categoryName = "";
        String^ machineName = "";
        PerformanceCounterCategory^ pcc;
        array<String^>^ instances;

        // Copy the supplied arguments into the local variables.
        try
        {
            categoryName = args[1];
            machineName = args[2]=="."? "": args[2];
        }
        catch (...)
        {
            // Ignore the exception from non-supplied arguments.
        }

        try
        {
            // Create the appropriate PerformanceCounterCategory object.
            if (machineName->Length > 0)
            {
                pcc = gcnew PerformanceCounterCategory(categoryName, machineName);

Remarks

Note

To read performance counters from a non-interactive logon session in Windows Vista and later, Windows XP Professional x64 Edition, or Windows Server 2003, you must either be a member of the Performance Monitor Users group or have administrative privileges.

To avoid having to elevate your privileges to access performance counters in Windows Vista and later, add yourself to the Performance Monitor Users group.

In Windows Vista and later, User Account Control (UAC) determines the privileges of a user. If you are a member of the Built-in Administrators group, you are assigned two run-time access tokens: a standard user access token and an administrator access token. By default, you are in the standard user role. To execute the code that accesses performance counters, you must first elevate your privileges from standard user to administrator. You can do this when you start an application by right-clicking the application icon and indicating that you want to run as an administrator.
