Dumping Process Memory To File
Sep 8, 2009
I need to create a way to dump the memory of a process to a file. And I don't mean a crash dump, I mean dumping the memory. In C++ you can use the function MiniDumpWriteDump.
Here is my code so far:
Public Declare Function MiniDumpWriteDump Lib "dbghelp.dll" (ByVal hProcess _
As IntPtr, ByVal ProcessId As Int32, ByVal hFile As IntPtr, ByVal DumpType _
As mydumptypes, ByVal ExceptionParam As IntPtr, ByVal UserStreamParam As _
IntPtr, ByVal CallackParam As IntPtr) As Boolean
Enum mydumptypes
[Code] .....
A file is created, however when I looked inside the file with a hex editor, it was complete garbage. For a test, I opened notepad, typed in "Hello!", and dumped the notepad process. I could not find any strings in it, let alone the "Hello!" string.
mydumptypes.normal =
MiniDumpWithDataSegs= 0x00000001,
in c++. It wasn't what I wanted. Anyways, I fixed it.

Alright well, I'm sort of new to VB.NET.I want to create a scanner that scans websites from lets say google or bing.It then dumps those websites into a list/textbox. It then scans each website for a directory, and if the site says something like "test page", then it dumps THOSE into another list/textbox.

I have an .exe console application that when run, will do its thing and then close.
Q1: How can I time that run? (accurate, in milliseconds)
Q2: How can I see how much memory was used? (accurate, in bytes)

I am having issues with initializing more than one process without having to close the program and re launch to run a second process. I need to clear the process impersonator out of the memory or something in order to start a new one?

I'm trying to read another process's memory starting from mbi.BaseAddress to mbi.RegionSize using the function ReadProcessMemory, however I only succedeed to read 1 address at a time and it takes like forever to finish, the result being stored into a byte() variable, calling the readaddressmemory 1 million times instead of only 1 for example.

Is there a way in vb.net to check whether new memory pages have been created inside a process(such as winlogon, svchost etc) For eg : if i there is a certain value that may change if new memory pages are created inside the process. Then i can compare the previous value and the new value (after pages have been created) and make it sure that new pages have been created inside that process.

Ive basically got 2 problems I need to solve.1) I am trying to determine if a certain process is running on the user's machine at the same time as my program.2) I am also then,if the process is running, trying to edit a specific memory addresses value. I have already found the memory addresses for the program, but how do I tell VB.Net to basically read the current value stored in that memory address, and then write a new value to that address

Is there a way to get my own process' memory range? For example, I want to read all memory of my own process:
[Code]...
But I always get an AccessViolationException, because, of course, I'm using IntPtr.Zero instread of my own address and 1000 instead of my own memory size. Is there a way to get these?

I want to be able to read and write the process memory of Firefox for a game on facebook(It's kind of like cheating only you can't cheat, nothing stays permanent.) this is just for fun. The game is called happy fish aquarium and you raise fish in the game and it's just really addicting. I found a program that reads process memory and lets me change certain values in happy fish aquarium so I can make my fish tank look different or whatever. But if I reload the page it will of course go back to the original state because the fish tank's memory is held online. The point is, I just want to make a program that can read the process memory from Firefox from a certain range and bytes. like 4 bytes and a range of 00400000 to 7FFFFFFF. Does anyone know how I can achieve this? Please note, this is not for cheating purposes in any way whatsoever, it's simply for visual fun(visual meaning only I can see it). What I want to do is the same as using the add-on firebug in firefox to change the html on a webpage.

first of all, I'm not 100% sure this is the right forum to post this, as there seems ot be tones and tones of forum branches here, so if I'm not in the right location, i'm creating an IDE for a proamming language and I need a way to monitor the physical memmory usage of a process tree. I'm not talking about the WorkngSet64 of a process, but the WorkingSet64 of the process and any child process started by it.

I have developed a VB.Net code for retrieving data from excel file .I load this data in one form and update it back in excel after making necessary modifications in data. This complete flow works fine but most of the times I have observed that even if I close the form; the already loaded excel process does not get closed properly. I tried all possible ways to close it but could not be able to resolve the issue.
Find below code which I am using for connecting to excel and let me know if any other approach I may need to follow to resolve this issue. Note: I do not want to kill the excel process as it will kill other instances of the excel

I am trying to edit the process memory of a game (Age Of Empires II: The Conquerers). I can edit the memory manually on TSearch and it works just fine. I want to this with VB.NET but have had no luck. Note: I am not doing this to cheat, I am just using this as a learning experience for changing process memory.

I'm having some problems implementing an algorithm to read a foreign process' memory. Here is the main code:
[Code]...
Although generally it seems to work correctly, the problem is that for some memory values ReadProcessMemory is returning false, and GetLastError is returning 299. From what I've googled, it seems to happen on vista because some params of OpenProcess were updated. Anyone knows what this is about? And what values should I try? Notice that as they changed, I wouldn't want to know if it's VM_READ or so, I want to know exactly what the values are.

When I load my solution and compile it after first starting the IDE, everything works as expected. After changing source and recompiling, I get the following compile error:
Error 11 Unable to copy file "objDebugCAMDRS.Library.dll" to "binCAMDRS.Library.dll". The process cannot access the file 'binCAMDRS.Library.dll' because it is being used by another process. CAMDRS.Library.
After closing Visual Studio 2005 and reopening the solution I can compile again successfully. This is an old solution that has been fine for a long time. I just recently changed computers and reinstalled everything.I am running win XP Pro sp2, Visual Studio 2005 sp1.

My program writes to a .txt file (and this is the ONLY program that writes to it) in a thread (with lowest priority), but every now and then it gets an error "The process cannot access the file because another process has locked a portion of the file" when it executes this code: swLog.WriteLine(sPacket).Other program reads from the file, not write to it, why do I get this error, and how can I get around it, or what shall I do when I get this error since I can't write to the file ?

How can i access a file through FileStream which is being used by a window service. Actually i am trying to access a file which is also being used by our window service. I need to read data from this file. I am using below code but also getting following error:
Code:
Dim fs1 As IO.FileStream = New IO.FileStream(psPath, IO.FileMode.Open, IO.FileAccess.Read, IO.FileShare.Read)
Dim sr As IO.StreamReader = New IO.StreamReader(fs1)
sData = sr.ReadToEnd
Error: The process cannot access the file 'FILENAME' because it is being used by another process.
I tried changing FileShare.Read parameter to FileShare.None but it didn't work out. I also read below post which says that it is not possible but i think there is a way to read it like if you open a file through Firefox but still window service is accessing it.

The process cannot access the file 'C:UsersJoshuaDocumentsTest1.txt' because it is being used by another process.Now the Problem. When i step through my code, it will do as intended, e.g. clear all contents of test1.txt. when i run it at run time it throws this error. The reason for it throwing an error is the text file is reading string, int, string, and the txt file has a string including in the int part, so i'm making it so you can empty a corrupt file.
