System.Management.ManagementObject question

Hi

My software has to get some information about motherboard (baseboard). It is possible to do that through WMI API which is encapsulated by System.Management namespace (as I understand). I use WMI class win32_baseboard to accomplish it and get exceptions. That's probably because of the fact that I am not good at WMI

The following code works perfectly
   ManagementObject wmi = new ManagementObject("win32_networkadapter.deviceid=\"1\"")
   wmi.Get()
   object val = wmi.Properties["[any property]"].Value

But this code throws an exception
  ManagementObject wmi = new ManagementObject("win32_baseboard=\"Base Board\"")
  wmi.Get();     <---- exception gets thrown her
  object val = wmi.Properties["[some property]"].Value

Excuse me if this question is not for this newsgroup

Thank you

Sorry,
I fixed everything. It works!

I was supposed to use Management.ManagementClass.GetInstances()
