c# - Retrieving Process Description Information

Question

I am trying to retrieve process information and I'm aware that I can use:

Process[] myProcesses = Process.GetProcesses();

but how do I retrieve the process description? Is it via some Win32 API call? I'm running Vista and when I click under the Processes tab in Task Manager, I see the description.

Answer 1

You just have to go a bit further down the properties. Suppose you have an instance of notepad running.

Process[] proc = Process.GetProcessesByName("notepad");
Console.WriteLine("Process version- " + proc[0].MainModule.FileVersionInfo.FileVersion);
Console.WriteLine("Process description- " + proc[0].MainModule.FileVersionInfo.FileDescription);

There you go !
