Question

I need to extract a value from a process array to myArray:

File: MyClass.vb

Public Function getTheRunningProcess()
Dim MyArray As Array
 For Each prso In Process.GetProcesses(System.Environment.MachineName)
    'This is the value i want to extract and put it in a Array
    MyArray() = prso.ProcessName.ToString
 Next
 'Now i need to return the MyArray so i can access its value from anywhere
  Return MyArray
End Function

So i can access this value from anywhere like so:

File: Form1.vb

For Each MyValue As TheValueFromFunction_getTheRunningProcess()
  Listbox.item.addItem(MyValue)
Next 

Now you might be thinking i can directly use the process in the File: Form1.vb but here is the situation, i have to use this function over and over again in different form as the application demands it has to be.

So if this is possible then how?

Or if there is any other way to do this?

Please show me the right path.

Thanks in advance 🙂

Answer 1

Public Function getTheRunningProcess() As Generic.List(Of String)
    Dim processList As New Generic.List(Of String)
    For Each prso In Process.GetProcesses(System.Environment.MachineName)
        processList.Add(prso.ProcessName.ToString)
    Next
    Return processList
End Function

You could try doing it with Lists… And then

Dim myProccessList = getTheRunningProcess()
For Each p In myProccessList
    'Do something with p
Next

Hope it helps
