How to get the interface type from Win32_CDROMDrive WMI class?

I have achieved that target for Win32_DiskDrive, but in Win32_CDROMDrive WMI class there no exist that property (InterfaceType).

How can get the interface type for a optical drive? Exists another mean to obtain it?

Thanks in advance.

You can extract the interface type from the DeviceID or PNPDeviceID properties.

Try this sample

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Management;
using System.Text;

namespace GetWMI_Info
{
    class Program
    {

        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            try
            {
                ManagementScope Scope = new ManagementScope(String.Format("\\\\{0}\\root\\CIMV2", "localhost"), null);
                Scope.Connect();
                ObjectQuery Query = new ObjectQuery("SELECT * FROM Win32_CDROMDrive");
                ManagementObjectSearcher Searcher = new ManagementObjectSearcher(Scope, Query);

                foreach (ManagementObject WmiObject in Searcher.Get())
                {
                    String InterfaceType =  ((String)WmiObject["DeviceID"]).Substring(0, ((String)WmiObject["DeviceID"]).IndexOf(@"\"));
                    Console.WriteLine("{0,-35} {1,-40}", "InterfaceType", InterfaceType);
                    Console.WriteLine("{0,-35} {1,-40}","Drive",WmiObject["Drive"]);
                    Console.WriteLine("{0,-35} {1,-40}","Name",WmiObject["Name"]);

                }
            }
            catch (Exception e)
            {
                Console.WriteLine(String.Format("Exception {0} Trace {1}",e.Message,e.StackTrace));
            }
            Console.WriteLine("Press Enter to exit");
            Console.Read();
        }
    }
}
