Who owns a running process?

[Scott Meddows]

Can you tell who owns a running process in .NET?

I can do the system.diagnostic.process object and see if an application of
the same name is running but I need to tell if the process is running by a
current user or by another user.

Anyone know how to do this?

Thanks

Hi,
Add a reference to System.Management to your app. You can get
that info with the wmi.

Dim moReturn As Management.ManagementObjectCollection

Dim moSearch As Management.ManagementObjectSearcher

Dim mo As Management.ManagementObject

moSearch = New Management.ManagementObjectSearcher("Select * from
Win32_Process")

moReturn = moSearch.Get

For Each mo In moReturn

Dim arOwner(2)

mo.InvokeMethod("GetOwner", arOwner)

Debug.WriteLine(String.Format("{0} Owner {1} Domain {2}", mo("Name"),
arOwner(0), arOwner(1)))

Next

What are the other methods I can call from this?
