.Net Windows Update Querying

Question

I was curious if there's a .Net API that would allow me to identify what updates are pending for "Windows Update,"

failing that, is there a windows powershell command that can get it?

Answer 1

The Windows Update Agent API may be what you're looking for:

It's a COM interface (not .NET native) but you can consume that from your application.
