DIWbemServices.PutInstanceAsync

[This is preliminary documentation and subject to change.]

The DIWbemServices.PutInstanceAsync method performs the same task as DIWbemServices.PutInstance, except that the call returns immediately. and update confirmation or error reporting is provided to the specified response handler.

DIWbemServices.PutInstanceAsync(
  [in]DWbemClassObject pInst As Object,          
  [in] lFlags As Long,                    
  [in] pCtx  As Object,              
  [in] pResponseHandler As Object   
) As Long

Parameters

pInst
The instance of DWbemClassObject to be written to the repository.
lFlags
If WBEM_FLAG_CREATE_OR_UPDATE, the instance is created if it does not exist or overwritten if it already exists. If WBEM_FLAG_UPDATE_ONLY, the instance must exist and this call constitutes an update. If WBEM_FLAG_CREATE_ONLY, this call is for creation only, and the call fails if the instance already exists.
pCtx
Typically NOTHING. Otherwise, this is a DWbemContext object required by the dynamic class provider that is producing the class instances. The values in the context object must be specified in the documentation for the provider in question.
pResponseHandler
The caller's implementation of DIWbemObjectSink. This handler receives the status of theDWbemClassObject.Put operation when you use the DIWbemObjectSink.SetStatus method.
