how to get CPU usage of inidividual process in VB.NET

I am trying to monitor the CPU usage of a particualar process in
VB.NET, and the best that I can come up with is get the TotalProcessor
time using the System.Diagnost ic.Process object.

Is there an easy way to do this?

Thanks,

You could also use performance counters. Drag a performance counter component
from the 'Components' toolbox on to your form. Set the CategoryName to 'Process',
CounterName to '% Processor Time' and InstanceName to the process you want
to monitor. This should give you the CPU usage for the process you've set
as the InstanceName. Note that you can do all this stuff from code as well.
You can change the instance name based on the process you want to monitor.

Apart from this, you can also look into doing this with WMI though I haven't
looked into it myself.

hope that helps..

Hi all, I have a problem. I have an application which needs to work with a lot of data, but not all at the same time. It is arranged as a set of objects, each with lots of data that is created when the object is instantiated. I'd ideally like to keep as many objects as possible in memory, but I can get rid of any object the program isn't currently using. Is there any way I can access the amount of memory python is using? I can

Would a Python process consume more memory on a PC with lots of memory? For example, say I have the same Python script running on two WinXP computers that both have Python 2.4.0. One computer has 256 MB of Ram while the other has 2 GB of Ram. On the machine with less Ram, the process takes about 1 MB of Ram. On the machine with more Ram, it uses 9 MB of Ram. Is this normal and expected behavior?

Hello, I'm exploring why one of my C# .NET apps has "high" memory usage, and whether I can reduce the memory usage. I have an app that wakes up and processes text files into a database periodically. What happens, is that the app reads the contents of a text file line by line into an ArrayList. Each element of the ArrayList is a string representing a record from the file. The ArrayList is then processed, and the arraylist goes out of...

I have a window service written using VB.NET. This window service will scan folders for file and grab the file content to be inserted to SQL Server on file detection.

we cannot stop the application from increasingly use memory. The CRM Worker process will continually consume memory but not release it back to the system. Please research into how to make the application consume less memory or at least release the memory when it is done processing a request.

In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
