Detecting when an application stops

Hi guys, I've been working on an application that detects weather other programs are performing any tasks or not (such as wether a defragmenter is defragmenting or not or wether a media player is currently playing something). At first I thought I could use Memory usage as an indication but that wasn't helpfull. Any Ideas how to do it?

p.s. I'm not a pro or anything so please try to keep things as clear as possible

thanks

weather = atmospheric conditions (rain, snow, sunny)
wether = a castrated sheep
You probably mean 'whether', to introduce an alternative as in "Whether or not"

'Helpful' only has one 'L'

My guess is your google.com searches will benefit from proper search terms.

I did a google search for "C# running processes" and got numerous related links. This one seems a good starting point for your research.
