Getting the command line switches for processes.

Using System.Management and WMI, here is a sample:

SelectQuery selectQuery = new SelectQuery("select * from
Win32_Process");
using(ManagementObjectSearcher searcher = new
ManagementObjectSearcher(selectQuery))
{
foreach(ManagementObject process in searcher.Get())
{
string commandLine = process.Properties["CommandLine"].Value;
Console.WriteLine(commandLine);
}
}

Note that you need administaror privileges to get the process properties of
all running processes!
