Refer to the library

System.Diagnostics (or) WMI also preferable to do this.

use this code in your application . i hope ur problem will be solved

Using System.Diagnostics;
foreach ( Process p in Process.GetProcesses(System.Environment.MachineNam e) )
{
if( p.MainWindowHandle != IntPtr.Zero)
{
Console.WriteLine( p ); // string s = p.ToString();
}
}

hi users,
thanks for ur post and interest but the above solution is not solving the purpose. i have to track the time of opening and closing the application i.e monitoring of windows application,system login/logoff and system start/shutdown

reply needed urgently.plz reply fast.thankyou for your support

run a timer with the min accuracy you need, and keep kicking off the process code as suggested by pankajinfoedge
even the process viewer does the same thing. a dll will only be inplementing a timer based function (even if it existed...there are no shortcuts)

Well in order to monitor user logins to the system, it will have to be a windows service so that it can run in a shell context...probably with an automatic startup so that it starts prior to any users logging on...so you're going to need to take that into account. You'll then monitor the process list and when a process is instantiated a record of the time it was started and the user that started it up. WMI should work for this. It seems relatively straight forward. The screen saver starts an executable so you can catch this too...of course, I'm not sure how you can tell who stopped the screen-saver. Because even if it's passworded any administrator could stop it...of course that would cause the old user to be logged off. I'm still not sure how you would tell who'd logged that person off...
