The System.Diagnostics.Process class can be used to start and stop system processes. The GetProcesses function returns all running processes on the machine. The GetProcesses has two definition. One is for local machine and other for remote machine.
If you want processes on the local machine, you use GetProcesses(), else you use GetProcesses(string machinename).
Public Shared GetProcesses()() As Process
Public Shared GetProcesses(String)() As Process
Sample:
Dim procList() As Process = Process.GetProcesses()
Dim i As Integer
For i = 0 To 20- 1 Step i + 1
Dim strProcName As String = procList(i).ProcessName
Dim iProcID As Integer = procList(i).Id
Next
NOTE: Don't forget to add reference to System.Diagnostics and write this line in your using list:
Imports System.Diagnostics
You can even start, stop or kill processes by using Process class's methods.
