Get a List of Running Processes in VB.NET

Get a List of Running Processes in VB.NET

Step 1)
Add  System.Diagnostics;


Step 2)   Get All Running Processes in the System.
 

Private  Sub GetAllRunningProcesses()
            Dim processes() As Process = System.Diagnostics.Process.GetProcesses()
           Dim pinfo() As Process =  System.Diagnostics.Process.GetProcessesByName("iisexpress")
            Dim process As Process
            For Each process In processes
Console.WriteLine("Process Name:{0}, MachineName={1}",process.ProcessName,process.MachineName)
                Try
                System.Reflection.PropertyInfo()pInfo=process.GetType().GetProperties()
                Dim pi As System.Reflection.PropertyInfo
                For Each pi In pInfo
                Try
                Console.Write("{0}={1}",pi.Name, pi.GetValue(process, Nothing))
                Console.WriteLine()
                End Try
                Next
                    'Console.Write(process.MachineName + "\t");
                    'Console.Write(process.ProcessName + "\t");
                    'Console.Write(process.Threads.Count + "\t");
                    'Console.Write("Days:"+process.TotalProcessorTime.TotalDays + "\t"+
                    '              "Hours:" + process.TotalProcessorTime.TotalHours + "\t"+
                    '              "MS:" + process.TotalProcessorTime.TotalMilliseconds + "\t"+
                    '              "Min:" + process.TotalProcessorTime.TotalMinutes + "\t"+
                    '              "Sec:" + process.TotalProcessorTime.TotalSeconds + "\t");
                    Console.WriteLine()
                Catch ex As Exception
                    Console.WriteLine(ex.Message+"---------------")
                End Try
            Next
 End Sub
      

 

Note: For each process Exceptions should be handled , Some process like "Idle" will throw Access Denied.  

So alternative approach is System.Management  has WMI management objects through which user can get Processes Information
