Programmatically Check Process CPU Percentage

Oct 1, 2009

I'm attempting to write an app that watching for process spikes. IE: Watch every active process and log the difference between initial and max values of cpu percentage (or load) of each process. The problem is that, as far as I can tell from the MSDN, the Process class doesn't contain any property that is even remotely equal to the true load of the process. For the time being I've written the code to watch the PagedMemorySize64 property, but the values that are being spit out appear to have no relevance to load.

To be clear, I don't need the actual load percentage (though it would be handy), all I need is a property that is directly related to load to show what processes 'spike' during the execution of my program.

My code as it stands (initialProcessCheck runs first, then processCheck runs every 1.5 seconds or so until other threads doing irrelavent tasks are finished, then computeDeltas is run):

Private Sub initialProcessCheck()
'Checks the current load on all active processes and stores as initial values
For Each intPID As Integer In ActiveProcessIDs
Dim CheckProcess As Process = Process.GetProcessById(intPID)

[Code]....

Can't Delete SQLCE Database Programmatically Because It Is Locked By Another Process

Oct 24, 2011

I am having some issues with an application written in VB.net.

As part of a routine, an sqlce database gets backed up before the routine then if an error occurred gets restored. I am using system.io methods copy and delete.

I have released all the objects (connections, commands, datareaders) asscociated with the sqlce database by disposing them if they are not nothing. I also do a GC.COLLECT however when my delete command runs, an error message says it is open by another process. The PROCEXP.exe process explorer tool says it is attached to 4 undefined processes. After a while in debug mode, these clear and I am able to delete the file. However this is not acceptable as my program cannot "wait around" until they are released! I was under the impression that object.dispose forced an immediate disposal rather than waiting for the garbage collector to clean up (if you were just to use object=nothing), but still there appears to be a finite time before these objects are released.

My question is, is there an alternative way of checking (programatically in vb) for what is holding open an sqlce database (or in fact any other file for that matter) then killing these processes?

Programmatically Check If A Web Browser Is Installed?

I was thinking of checking the registry keys that a web browsers makes, and hopefully seeing if I could get accurate answer. Yet I only discovered that most of them do not remove registry values after a uninstall, nor do they make any indication that the program was removed from the system.

Programmatically Check To See If A Sheet Exists In Excel?

Nov 4, 2010

I was wondering if there is a way to programatically check and see if a sheet exsists in an excel workbook?

Basically what I am doing is checking if an excel document exists, opening it up and checking if the specified sheet exists. I am currently unaware as to how to check and see if the sheet exists.

UPDATE

I have been given some good code to make this work. All i am missing now is the correct imports.

I have searched and found this import :

Imports Tools = Microsoft.Office.Tools.Excel

But for some reason that is not recognized. Do I have to configure VS somehow to make it work? Or am I just using the wrong import?

VS 2010 : Programmatically Check Item In CheckedListBox?

Jun 12, 2011

Having some issue trying to programmatically check items in a CheckedListBox.What i am trying to achieve:

1. Pull Staffnames from database

2. Separate each staff member via delimiter

3. checked = true for each item in StaffCHKlist where staffnames = existing StaffChKlist item

i have had a few goes, but cant seem to achieve, this is where i am currently at:

Dim sl As String = ds.Tables("Consignment").Rows(0).Item("StaffName")
Dim tokens As String()
tokens = sl.Split(",")

[code]....

which errors with:

"List that this enumerator is bound to has been modified. An enumerator can only be used if the list does not change."

I have been trying to understand, would programmatically checking an item in a checkedlistbox be classified as list change?

Check Programmatically Whether Application Is Running Locally Or Remotely?

Apr 21, 2010

My desktop application is developed in VB.Net and can be run through two types of users, one who install it on their local machine and execute locally.

Second type of users will run the application remotely from the server.i.e. Application will install on the server and user will execute that application from client side. Server can be a Citrix Meta Frame or any server accessed through Remote Desktop Connection.

I want to maintain single exe for both types of users.

Question:

Is there any mechanism/way through which I can come to know programmatically whether application is running locally or remotely?

Process Name Check Needs To Be Case Insensitive

Oct 25, 2009

I put this at the top of my project:
Option Compare Text

Here is the sub that contains the process name check:
Sub AC3()
Dim ProcessList As System.Diagnostics.Process()
ProcessList = System.Diagnostics.Process.GetProcesses()
Dim Proc As System.Diagnostics.Process
For Each Proc In ProcessList
[Code] .....

No errors, but it only checks the lowercase hack/cheat/inject. I need it to be case insensitive when checking it.

Figured it out and tested and it works. I put, right after dim procname...
procname = procname.ToLower()
works great.

C# - Check For Changes In A File Launched With Process.start()

May 22, 2012

I'm developing a vbnet/c#.NET based application that opens files with different applications(excel, word, etc).

The application is launched using Dim app As Process = Process.Start(ProcessProperties)

Now, when I have to terminate the process I use app.Kill() but I need to check if the document has been modified before killing it.

How can I handle that? And if it's possible, how can I launch the application native prompt for save?
