Using C# to read how much memory a process is using

[AgentZap]

If I know the name of the process what would I need to do to read how much RAM a process is using on the system using an app I make in c#? I am having trouble thinking of how to word this for Google to help me 🙂

Windows task manager shows the ram per task.

Im sure there is simple API call that will return an integer.

I know taskmanager can do it. I am trying to do something slick internal to this program I am making though. I found this on MSDN http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/defau...ry_usage_information_for_a_process.asp not sure if this will work yet

WINBASEAPI BOOL WINAPI GetProcessHandleCount(HANDLE,PDWORD);

gets you the the number of handels in the proess.


It should be in WINBASE_H file . Im Using the GCC complier for c++.

The System.Diagnostics.Process class is your friend.

The attached code finds the explorer process and tells you how much memory is using.
