Process
Synopsis
This class represents a
system
process. Use it to start,
stop, and interact with a process. To launch a new process, create an
instance of ProcessStartInfo, set its properties,
and pass it to the single-argument form of the static Start( ) method. This offers a great deal of control over process
creation. To launch a process without customizing its
StartInfo, simply call the one-string or
two-string argument form of the static Start( )
method. The first string argument is the name of the program, batch
file, or document to start, and the optional second argument contains
any command-line arguments. You can also explicitly create a new
instance of Process, set its
StartInfo property, and call the Start( ) method to start the process.
GetCurrentProcess( ) creates a
Process instance that represents the current
process. Enumerate all running processes on the system by using
GetProcesses( ). Use GetProcessesByName( ) to get all processes for a given program.
GetProcessById( ) retrieves a
Process given its process ID.
Use CloseMainWindow( ) to shut down a process that
has a user interface. You can terminate a process with Kill( ), but this forces an abnormal termination, which may
result in data corruption. If you would like to raise an event when
the process finishes executing, use Exited
(EnableRaisingEvents must be set to
true).
Most of the properties allow you to access general information about the running process. However, this information is populated at the ...
