Properties
| Count | Gets the number of objects in the MethodDataCollection collection. | 
| IsSynchronized | Gets a value that indicates whether the object is synchronized. | 
| Item[String] | Gets the specified MethodData from the MethodDataCollection. | 
| SyncRoot | Gets the object to be used for synchronization. | 
Methods
| Add(String, ManagementBaseObject, ManagementBaseObject) | Adds a MethodData to the MethodDataCollection. This overload will add a new method with the specified parameter objects to the collection. | 
| Add(String) | Adds a MethodData to the MethodDataCollection. This overload will add a new method with no parameters to the collection. | 
| CopyTo(Array, Int32) | Copies the MethodDataCollection into an array. | 
| CopyTo(MethodData[], Int32) | Copies the MethodDataCollection to a specialized MethodData array. | 
| Equals(Object) | Determines whether the specified object is equal to the current object.(Inherited from Object) | 
| GetEnumerator() | Returns an enumerator for the MethodDataCollection. | 
| GetHashCode() | Serves as the default hash function.(Inherited from Object) | 
| GetType() | Gets the Type of the current instance.(Inherited from Object) | 
| MemberwiseClone() | Creates a shallow copy of the current Object.(Inherited from Object) | 
| Remove(String) | Removes a MethodData from the MethodDataCollection. | 
| ToString() | Returns a string that represents the current object.(Inherited from Object) | 
Explicit Interface Implementations
| IEnumerable.GetEnumerator() | Returns an IEnumerator that iterates through the MethodDataCollection. | 
Extension Methods
| Cast<TResult>(IEnumerable) | Casts the elements of an IEnumerable to the specified type. | 
| OfType<TResult>(IEnumerable) | Filters the elements of an IEnumerable based on a specified type. | 
| AsParallel(IEnumerable) | Enables parallelization of a query. | 
| AsQueryable(IEnumerable) | Converts an IEnumerable to an IQueryable. |
