Question

How can I get a list of all processes in C# and then for each process current memory and CPU consumption?

Sample code is highly appreciated.

Solution

The Process class has a GetProcesses method that will let you enumerate the running processes and list a bunch of stats like memory usage and CPU time. Look at the documentation under properties for the stats.

Memory usage is a complex matter. There is really no single number, that describe the usage. Please see Russinovich's excellent series on the matter. The first installment is here: http://blogs.technet.com/markrussinovich/archive/2008/07/21/3092070.aspx
