Hyper-V Programming Model

Blog Introduction

I wrote the msdn Hyper-V documentation samples with my colleges' help. I want to use this blog to explain the contexts that we missed from these samples.

I will be really happy if we can achieve the following goals together:

1. Make our MSDN online samples easier to understand.
2. Get your feedbacks into these samples.
3. Get scenario samples that we need to write.

So far we have 48 samples written in both C# and VBScripts. It covers most the API that Hyper-V currently has. These samples can be divided into the following categories:

1. Virtual System Management Service. 17 methods.  http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc136940(VS.85).aspx
2. Virtual Switch Management Service. 13 methods.  http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc136938(VS.85).aspx
3. Virtual Image Management Service. 13 methods. http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc136845(VS.85).aspx
4. Keyboard and Mouse. 3 methods. http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc136956(VS.85).aspx. http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc136772(VS.85).aspx
5. Msvm_ComputerSystem. 1 method. http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc723874(VS.85).aspx
6. Scenarios. 1 Scenario  http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc723870(VS.85).aspx

I will try to explain these APIs in the following context:

1. Methods and VM relationships 
2. WMI objects it creates.
3. Mapping between the Hyper-V console UI and the method

I am looking forward getting your feedbacks. 

Cheers,

Howard.
