I am looking for a way to read the current memory usage of a Windows Mobile process.

I started out with accessing the actual process object. To get processId to be passed to Process.GetProcessById(int processId) method I followed this solution.

Unfortunately, .NET CF 3.5 API for System.Diagnostics.Process does not provide any properties / methods to work with the process memory.

There must be a way to do that since tools such as FDCSoft Task Manager display memory usage for each WM process along with much more process data.

    There’s nothing in the CF BCL that’s going to give you that information. You’ll need to P/Invoke the Toolhelp Functions and build up a heap list then sum those up to get total process usage. Generally, the call order will look something like this:

    • Call CreateToolhelp32Snapshot, ensuring you pass in the TH32CS_SNAPHEAPLIST flag
    • Call Heap32ListFirst for the first HEAPLIST32 structure
    • Keep calling Heap32ListNext for more structures until it return FALSE
    • Call CallCloseToolhelp32Snapshot`
