Im working on a Dll Injector. But that is not my problem. I am using a picturebox to display the icon of a running process. E.g. If google chrome is running. The picturebox should display the icon of google chrome.
I can extract the icon to my picturebox only if I know the full path of the process. That API was easily found and works very well.
But know I want my application to get the full path of a running process automatically as soon as I order it.Like in a textbox is write: chrome.exe, and press the button next to it. What do I need to write in the button to get the full path of that running process.(of course only if its running, I if its not running I dont want anything to happned)
how do i get the full path of running process in task manager.

View 7 RepliesVB.net 2010 Read all around the net, but cannot seem to do this: Tried the performance counter Categoryname=process Instancename=("program"). _Total helps in part- but it would be more efficient to acquire the main applications cpu usage for this project.
Code:for each p as process in process.getprocesses if p.id=process.getcurrentprocess.id then end if next 'Values, Obviously multiple processor cores have to be taken into account'kernelmodetime, usermodetime, Cputime, total cpu time, 100% <-- Does this involve adding and or dividing all these times? I need the current process CPU usage.
I have a winforms application that calls an command line program. My application is MyApp.exe for example, and the application I call is OtherApp. exe - if my user exits my application properly, I can "kill" the instance of OtherApp.exe - however if the user uses task manager to kill MyApp.exe, I cannot kill OtherApp.exe... when I load the OtherApp.exe, is there a way to associate it with MyApp.exe so MyApp.exe can kill both automatically? I only allow MyApp.exe to load one OtherApp.exe at a time, and it is stored in a global variable.Basically even if OtherApp.exe is currently running (inside procJob), I want the procJob (and associated OtherApp.exe) to be killed if MyApp.exe exits by force in task manager.[code]

My goal is to move all folder inside a folder into a folder named Folders.so If I do it on desktop all the folders in desktop will go to "Folders"but I get an error "The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process."
I have written a windows service that is meant to launch a notepad when a specific action happens. The problem i have is that even though the service launches notepad, the actual notepad it self is NOT visible. I know that it has been launced because i can see the process in the task manager. By the way the process is listed as a SYSTEM process rather than a process under my user name (i believe that is because my process is a "LocalSystem" one).

View 8 RepliesI have a service that needs to run several independent processes, my problem is that it only creates up to 23, from the 24th and so on the processes are not started and a DW20.EXE window error is displayed, it only says that the there has been an unhandled exception and that the proceess is going to be closed. Inside the process.start block there is no error so I guess it could be some limitation somewhere.

text automatically filled when the process starts CONTINUED
View 3 RepliesIf I make a button that starts command prompt:
Process.Start "cmd.exe"
I want text to be entered as soon as it starts. Like "ipconfig" is typed in by the pc, and hit "enter" automatically.
I want a prompt. Like
Process.Start("cmd.exe")
My.Computer.Keyboard.SendKeys("net users" & vbCrLf)
If you enter "net users" in the command prompt all the local users on the pc appear. I want a textbox in my app, that if a user types in "kyle", and click the button, the first code I gave starts, and after "net users" the text in the textbox is there as well, so it will look like this:
net users Kyle
The original code came from AutoItI just rewrote what was necessary for VB.NET and added the structures and throws. If successful the PID of the process started is returned, else an exception is thrown. No imports needed.

The form opens w/ no data in the list box. I played w/ this for a bit and found the strFolderName(i) assignment seems to break the code (make it not work) but I can't figure out why.

View 2 RepliesI am trying to use my web browser control to get retrieve date from a specific page, including all sub-page content. Problem is some of the sub-pages are on a separate domain and thus I am getting a permission deigned error when i try to access the frame [through document.windows.frames(i).document].Is there any work around to do this, even if I have to manually change security settings? I tried turning all my settings in IE to allow and still same error. I will only be running the app locally and no one will be browsing on IE so I can literally change anything needed to get this to work (even install older version of IE which may allow it but can still handle JS processing).
Note the reason I am using web browser is a great majority of data I will be accessing is JS generated, so I need to access the DOM after JS processed / generated the HTML. Because of this, simply using SOCKETS to get the HTML is really not an option. Even if I had the HTML, I still need some type of engine to process all of the DOM elements based off javascript.
I have 2 applications that needs to talk to each others. After some research, I wanted to go with managed pipe (namespace system.io.pipes). The problem is, the client must send commands to the server but need to also wait for incoming message from the server at the same time. I tried to go asynchrone but it doesn't work.

I'm writing a program that checks processes (when they start), and kills any processes that aren't acceptable. My program is mostly done, but I only just ran into a problem: when I try to get the path (one of the criteria) of a process running under a different user, (MainModule.FileName) I get an exception:
System.ComponentModel.Win32Exception occurred
ErrorCode=-2147467259
Message="Access is denied"
NativeErrorCode=5
Source="System"
[Code] .....
Now, the program doing the checking is running with complete administrator privileges, so I can pretty much wrangle any permission I need. How can I obtain the path of the process? (I can use WMI, by the way, I've already used it for another part of this).
I have this in a VB.NET console application:
Dim p As ProcessStartInfo
p = New ProcessStartInfo(Environment.CurrentDirectory & "injavac.exe",ClassName & ".java")
Dim ps As Process = Process.Start(p)
This does run the java compiler on the file, but it does so in a new window. I want the output from javac to appear in the same console that is running my application. How can I do this? Perhaps there is another method for running commands in the current console? Or maybe I can supress the second console window from opening and redirect its output to the current console?
I cannot for the life of me figure out why this is not working[code]...
I've tried all but two things: 1) code that will work and 2) throwing this thing out the window. I feel like I can't find my glasses and the reason is that I'm already wearing them.
I cannot for the life of me figure out why this is not working:
Imports System.Console
Module Module1

I have a fairly simple piece of code for viewing files System.Diagnostics.Process.Start(tFileInfo.FullName

Works beautifully on my machine, but on three others i have tested it on, it opens PDF and TXT files no problem, but as soon as I attempt to open a Word file or an Excel file I get "There is not enough memory or disk space to open Word" and similar in Excel if the application is not already open. If the Office app is open, the code works perfectly. Has anyone come across this before?
I have a listview with process that are running. my goal is to pass the "path" of the process to a text box when someone clicks on a selection.but my code isnt working correctly, this is what I have:
Private Sub lvwProcBox_SelectedIndexChanged(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles lvwProcBox.SelectedIndexChanged
Dim pID As Integer = Int32.Parse(lvwProcBox.SelectedItems(0).SubItems(1).ToString)
Dim proc As System.Diagnostics.Process = Process.GetProcessById(pID)
[code]....
and of course the text boxes path changes to a different path if a different selection is made?
I've been trying to figure out how to get the image path of all currently running processes. I've been researching it for a while via Google and MSDN, but can seem to come up with anything.

I have researched the Internet and found more than a few potential solutions, but I keep getting errors on a Windows 7 machine. Here's the scoop. I have an application written in VB.NET that launches a console application. The console application will run independently of my VB.NET app, so the user can close and restart the VB.NET app and potentially start a second session of the console app from the same installation.

can i know what code that enable me to list all currently running process and get their path and list all the path in listbox1.
