Operations on Your Computer Processes

This article is about the processes in your computer & operations on them.

You can use the Process class in the System.Diagnosis namespace.

using System.Diagnostics;

Using the Process.GetProcesses() method it will get all the processes in your computer as an array of Processes....

Process[] prc=Process.GetProcesses();

Every time it will first clear the ListBox otherwise it will append the processes to the ListBox. So we need to clear the ListBox before adding the processes in the ListBox.

lbProcess.Items.Clear();

Now I create one process called Load_Process & it will load all the processes currently running in the computer and display them in the ListBox.

private void Load_Process()
{
lbProcess.Items.Clear();
try
{
foreach (var item in prc)
{
lbProcess.Items.Add(item.ProcessName);
}
}
catch (Exception e)
{
MessageBox.Show(e.Message.ToString());
}
}

When the user clicks on the refresh button it will load all the process again into the ListBox.

private void btnRefresh_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
Load_Process();
}

After selecting a particular process it will kill that selected particular process from the list & then again it will load all the processes in the ListBox.

private void btnEndTask_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
if (MessageBox.Show("Are You Sure Want To Kill..?", "Kill Process", MessageBoxButtons.OK) == System.Windows.Forms.DialogResult.OK)
{
prc[lbProcess.SelectedIndex].Kill();
lbProcess.SelectedIndex = 0;
Load_Process();
}

If the user wants to add a new task then by clicking the NewTask button it will start the new process & then it will load all the processes into ListBox, so that it will add that new process in the list.

private void btnNewTask_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
OpenFileDialog ofd = new OpenFileDialog();
ofd.ShowDialog();
Process.Start(ofd.FileName.ToString());
Load_Process();
}
