hello to all
In my code I have to check currently running processes from task manager and perform some actions on them but the problem I am facing in doing so is that I am not able to get a processes location from where it is running (i.e. path of exe file). Can any cody help me in this regard.
Thanx
So assuming you have an array of all processes, in your foreach
foreach(Process p in processes)
{
string path = p.MainModule.FileName;
}i have tried this code but it is not working for me. Following exception encounters
System.ComponentModel.Win32Exception was unhandled

InnerException:
i am checking paths of all of the processes running right now. but my aim is to check open websites, documents (.doc, .ppt, .pdf, .xls etc), images and exe files started by user
Thank you Momerath :)... your post made me check my code and it is solved now. the exception was because i was checking paths of process running from server of my office on which of course i don't have permission to check path :p any way thanx
