Given:
[StructLayout(La youtKind.Sequen tial, CharSet=CharSet .Auto)]
private struct PROCESSENTRY32
{
public int dwSize;
public int cntUsage;
public int th32ProcessID;
public int th32DefaultHeap ID;
public int th32ModuleID;
public int cntThreads;
public int th32ParentProce ssID;
public int pcPriClassBase;
public int dwFlags;
[MarshalAs(Unman agedType.ByValT Str, SizeConst=MAX_P ATH)]
public char szExeFile;
}
and
PROCESSENTRY32 pe32 = new PROCESSENTRY32( );
I was using the following:
pe32.dwSize =sizeof(PROCESS ENTRY32);
But that returned the wrong value 40 instead of the correct value 296, as
MAX_PATH is 260.
So I tried the following:
pe32.dwSize = Marshal.SizeOf( PROCESSENTRY32) ;
Which results in the following error at build time:
D:\Visual Basic
Code\API\EnumPr ocesses\Code-GetUsageCount\C sharpGetUsageCo unt\Form1.cs(34 0):
'CsharpGetUsage Count.Form1.MOD ULEENTRY32' denotes a 'class' where a
'variable' was expected
So, I tried
pe32.dwSize = Marshal.SizeOf( pe32);
Alas, that ended up causing an exception, with the message:
"Type PROCESSENTRY32 can not be marshaled as an unmanaged structure; no
meaningful size or offset can be computed."
What do I need to do to correct the problem? 6 6676

The last part should be:

public string szExeFile; and
PROCESSENTRY32 pe32 = new PROCESSENTRY32( );
I was using the following:

use Marshal.SizeOf But that returned the wrong value 40 instead of the correct value 296, as MAX_PATH is 260.
Yeah, but since you chosen Auto for charset, strings will be wide on nt
versions of windows. So the struct would be at least 260*2, this doesn't
have to be a problem though. So I tried the following:
pe32.dwSize = Marshal.SizeOf( PROCESSENTRY32) ;
Should be :
pe32.dwSize = Marshal.SizeOf( typeof(PROCESSE NTRY32)); Which results in the following error at build time:
D:\Visual Basic Code\API\EnumPr ocesses\Code-GetUsageCount\C sharpGetUsageCo unt\Form1.cs(34 0): 'CsharpGetUsage Count.Form1.MOD ULEENTRY32' denotes a 'class' where a 'variable' was expected
So, I tried
pe32.dwSize = Marshal.SizeOf( pe32);
That should work now.

- use IntPtr for C/C++ HANDLE types
- since you declared PROCESSENTRY32 as a _struct_ and you need to pass a

- use the same CharSet on both the structure and the api

The problem appears to have been the missing ref.
Note that the code did not work when I used IntPtr.
What's the best book to address the type of questions I've asked?
Previously, I had only:
C# Essentials
A Progranmmer's Introduction to C#
This past week. I ordered:
The MSFT Press Step by Step book (received yesterday).
Liberty's Programming C#..
Hejlsberg's book.
Again, thanx, now it's on to do a VB .NET version.
That task should be easier since the issue of the ref has been solved.
At some point, I will be posting an article at my web site, goving the code
for the C++, C#, VB .NET and VB 6 versions, and describing whether the
intended problem has been solved, but I do not want to digress now.

Why convert and not simply use what's offered by the FCL, especially the
System.Diagnost ics and System.Manageme nt namespace classes are just what you
need to achieve what you are looking for.
If you have to PInvoke that much in C#, it means you didn't check the FCL
for a managed solution and you missed the point of .NET where the FCL is
key, not the language you use to implement, or you might have chosen the
wrong language.

Yes, but the goal is to do the deed in VB 6.
I was having difficulty with the task in VB 6, so I decided to try running
the C code example at http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/de..._processes.asp
I first put the code thru MSFT C++ V6 Learning edition.
Then I import that workspace into C++ .NET 2002, then into C++ .NET 2003.
Then to C#, and I just finished converting to VB .NET this evening.
I should be able to more easily implement a VB 6 version, using the VB .NET
version as a guide.
I do have a partial solution using the Framework stiff.
I found 11 of the 12 APIs I'm using are alleged to have Framework
equivalents.
Other is CloseHandle, have not yet looked for that equivalent. This thread has been closed and replies have been disabled. Please start a new discussion. Similar topics |
