Question

A bit of searching returns this result: Which processes are running managed code and which version?

However I am wondering if there is a ‘better’ way then simply iterating though the loaded modules? It seems a little quirky to look for the string “mscorwks.dll”. Reading though the Process Class on MSDN doesn’t seem to point out an obvious solution.

Assumptions Made

1. .NET 4.0
2. I have a “Process” in hand

Thank you

Answer 1

For any future Googlers: I ended up using the suggested answer posted here How to check if a program is using .NET? (thanks 0xA3!)

Process mProcess = //Get Your Process Here
foreach (ProcessModule pm in mProcess.Modules)
{
    if (pm.ModuleName.StartsWith("mscor", StringComparison.InvariantCultureIgnoreCase))
    {
        return true;
    }
}

As an aside looking for “mscorwks.dll” as mentioned in my original post does not work for .NET 4.0.
