Getting the command line switches for processes.

[Frank Rizzo]

I am looping through the array of processes returned by
Process.GetProc esses(). How do I get the command line parameters that
each of the processes was started with? Kind of like in the
SysInternals' Process Explorer?

I've tried Process.StartIn fo.Arguments property but it is always empty.

Thanks.

Using System.Manageme nt and WMI, here is a sample:

SelectQuery selectQuery = new SelectQuery("se lect * from
Win32_Process") ;
using(Managemen tObjectSearcher searcher = new
ManagementObjec tSearcher(selec tQuery))
{
foreach(Managem entObject process in searcher.Get())
{
string commandLine = process.Propert ies["CommandLin e"].Value;
Console.WriteLi ne(commandLine) ;
}
}

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