AKA: Microsoft.Windows.LocalApplication
This is the second post in the new VSAE Fragment category. The purpose of these types of posts is to provide a practical demonstration of how to create your own fragment library. I find this useful in management pack authoring, because it’s much easier to add and modify an existing fragment than to create elements and modules from scratch each time.
What does it do?
This may be the most common base classes used for a seed class. It’s easy to implement, because it doesn’t require you to create a hosting relationships. This base class *will* rollup to the windows computer class, as a local application. So, do not choose this as a base if you do not want your application to rollup to windows computer! This is considered a concrete class, and rolls up to windows computer.
Go here for a fragment that will discover this class type using the filtered registry discovery module.
