C#.NET How to find a list of ManagementObjectSearcher array element

Question

Here is my code, I have copied from one of your question and the code is :

class Program
{
    static void Main(string[] args)
    {
        try
        {
            ManagementObjectSearcher searcher = new ManagementObjectSearcher("root\\WMI","SELECT * FROM MSWmi_PnPInstanceNames");


            foreach (ManagementObject queryObj in searcher.Get())
            {
                Console.WriteLine("-----------------------------------");
                //Console.WriteLine("MSWmi_PnPInstanceNames instance");
                //Console.WriteLine("-----------------------------------");
                Console.WriteLine("InstanceName: {0}", queryObj["InstanceName"]);

            }

            Console.Read();

        }
        catch (ManagementException e)
        {
            MessageBox.Show("An error occurred while querying for WMI data: " + e.Message);
        }
    }

}

Now, my question is : what is the element of queryObj array ?

The first hit on google, when you search for `ManagementObject`: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-Us/library/system.management.managementobject.aspx — jAC, May 08 '13 at 05:58
queryObj contains info about HID(Humaman Interface Device).http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3729970/scanning-for-a-human-interface-device-hid-using-c-sharp — vborutenko, May 08 '13 at 06:01

ManagementObjectSearcher.Get() method return type is ManagementObjectCollection.

The objects in this collection are of ManagementBaseObject-derived types, including ManagementObject and ManagementClass.

From ManagementObjectSearcher.Get() method;

Invokes the specified WMI query and returns the resulting collection.

InstanceName is proopertyName for instance of ManagementObject which returns from ManagementObjectSearcher.Get method.
