Get Active Process Running in System using C#

Hi in this blog I am going to show how to get the list of active process running in the system using System.Diagnostics namespace in c#.Create a new window application and name it as "GetActiveProcessList" and design a form as show in the fig.

Now write the below code in the button handlers.

private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)

        {

            processlist();

        }

        private void processlist()

        {

            Process[] processlist = Process.GetProcesses();

            foreach (Process theprocess in processlist)

            {

                string temp = "Process ID:" + theprocess.Id + "\tProcess Name:" + theprocess.ProcessName;

                listBox1.Items.Add(temp);

            }

        }

                

        private void button2_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)

        {           

            listBox1.Items.Clear();

            processlist();

        }

        private void btnKill_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)

        {

            Process p = new Process();

            //Convert.ToInt32(txtProcessID.Text)

            p = Process.GetProcessById(Convert.ToInt32(txtProcessID.Text));

            p.Kill();

        }

processlist() : This function get the list of running in the system and add it to the listitem box.
