I should use Messenger.Walk to get all OIDs, but how can i get a description of each OID ? Is there a method that returns a description ?

As I commented on CodeProject, http://www.codeproject.com/Messages/4423847/Re- MIB-Walk.aspx

Generally speaking, SNMP protocol does not cover that. An OID can legally have no description at all in the MIB documents, while any SNMP agent does not expose such descriptions in SNMP packet.

You need to obtain the SNMP MIB documents from the vendor and then manually translate each OID to an entity definition in one of the MIB documents.

A MIB compiler might make it simpler, by removing the manual translation part. But at this moment (#SNMP 7.5), #SNMP MIB compiler is not yet capable of doing that.
