Listing of Managed Processes

  • Article

I just discovered a cool way of listing all processes that run managed code. 

using System.Diagnostics;

using System;

class Program {

    static void Test() {

        PerformanceCounterCategory clr = new PerformanceCounterCategory(".NET CLR Memory");

        foreach(string process in clr.GetInstanceNames()) {

            if(process != "_Global_") {

                Console.WriteLine(process);

            }

        }

    }

}

Does anybody know an easier way to do it?

 

On my machine it prints (but it’s a pretty clean machine):

devenv

OUTLOOK

ConsoleTest.vshost

Anybody wants to share their list?

    Explorer.EXE#1
    aspnet_wp : Obvious
    Explorer.EXE
    ConsoleApplica : The lister
    OUTLOOK.EXE : News Gator Again
    ReportingServi : Yukon beta
    SQLAGENT90.EXE : Yukon beta
    devenv

    But Explorer? Really? I wonder what that is. Unless it's the newsgator toolbar I have no idea what's going on there.

    OUTLOOK
    nunit-gui
    explorer
    SharpReader

    Not much here, today:

    devenv
    NetApps
    RSSBandit

    (NetApps is the application producing this list, compiled from the code above)

    "tasklist /m mscoree.dll" is not completely equivalent; that one also includes processes that host or monitor managed apps, without being a managed app themselves:

    aspnet_admin.exe
    procexp.exe
    RSSBandit.exe
    devenv.exe

    Note the presence of aspnet_admin and process explorer (free download from http://www.sysinternals.com/ ).

    That being said, recent versions of process explorer highlight .NET applications differently than non-net applications, which makes it a faster way of seeing what processes are .NET applications.

    If it's extremely slow, then it is java (sort of managed), if it is a bit faster but uses lots of memory (WinForms), it is .Net and if it's fast but crashes now and then, it's unmanaged.

    Sysinternals Process Explorer does the rest (just take a look at the dlls which are loaded in the process :))

    Not an easy way, but can get you process and the AppDomain names and path:

    The ICorPublishProcess COM interface is a little more "official" way to do it. Chris Sells posted a little utility using it on his site:
