I'm not sure what Reset method of CIM you want to import and invoke, but this is how you can call a method in VMI . Install System.Management package via NuGet. Then you need to create an instance of ManagementClass like below:

var NamespacePath = "\\\\.\\ROOT\\cimv2";
var ClassName = "CIM_LogicalDevice";

ManagementClass managementClass = new ManagementClass(NamespacePath + ":" + ClassName);           

managementClass .InvokeMethod("Reset", null);

Of course in the code above, Reset method is not implemented . You can find your provider, class, and method in Microsoft Docs . For eg above, I tried to call the Reset method of CIM_LogicalDevice class.

In the requirement section, you can see the namespace.

.

If you look for the more complicated example of how to invoke WMI class methods, take a look on this example on Microsoft Docs: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/configmgr/develop/core/clients/programming/how-to-call-a-wmi-class-method-by-using-system.management
