   [Abstract, Version ( "2.6.0" ), Description (
       "CIM_MethodParameters represents a set of values to be used as "
       "the parameters of a method. These parameters may be passed to "
       "the method, diretly used by the method in its invocation, or "
       "accessed by the method when it is called. The properties of a "
       "concrete subclass of MethodParameters are mapped to the "
       "parameters of a method by the method itself or by the method "
       "caller. This is an implementation detail independent of the "
       "definition of the class. For ease of use, property names "
       "should match parameter names. \n"
       "Property values should be set before the method is invoked. "
       "The ModelCorrespondence qualifier can be used to indicate if "
       "the property value should come from another class's property. "
       "The instances that the property values should be gleaned from "
       "should be associated with MethodParameters using the Parameter "
       "ValueSources association. If the property is declared as an "
       "array, then the same property value (identified by the Model "
       "Correspondence) will be retrieved from all appropriate "
       "ParameterValueSources instances and stored in the array. If "
       "the property is declared as an array and the Model "
       "Correspondence is to an array property, then only one instance "
       "of the array will be copied from one ParameterValueSource. If "
       "the property is not declared as an array and there are "
       "multiple instances of the class and property associated with "
       "it through ModelCorrespondence where the values are not all "
       "the same, then an error will occur and the property's value "
       "will not be set. Several MethodParameters instances can be "
       "associated with any ManagedElement's methods. This allows the "
       "maintenance of 'canned' method invocation and reduces the "
       "overhead of recreating all method parameters for every method "
       "invocation.")]

          "several source candidates with the MethodParameters with "
          "one being chosen as the source for this set of values. If "
          "resetValues is invoked and sourceME is null, then all "
