Question

Duplicate of this question.

update – This is not an exact duplicate. See my solution.

I see a java.exe process in process explorer, and double clicking it gives me its working directory & starting command line arguments.

From .NET, I run the following code and get a process with the same PID but the above fields are empty. Apparently, this is documented.

foreach (Process process in Process.GetProcessesByName('java')) {    ... } 

So how do I get the correct startinfo field values, without peeking into process memory by hand (in other words – I’d like to steal this code from somewhere instead of hack the process memory myself).

Answer 1

I wrote some code the accomplish this (blog post and direct link to zip).

In short: this question helped a lot. I took the CodeProject code and wrapped it in a command line utility and then a C# wrapper.
