Question

When I get a reference to a System.Diagnostics.Process, how can I know if a process is currently running?

Answer 1

This is a way to do it with the name:

Process[] pname = Process.GetProcessesByName('notepad'); if (pname.Length == 0)   MessageBox.Show('nothing'); else   MessageBox.Show('run'); 

You can loop all process to get the ID for later manipulation:

Process[] processlist = Process.GetProcesses(); foreach(Process theprocess in processlist){    Console.WriteLine('Process: {0} ID: {1}', theprocess.ProcessName, theprocess.Id); }
