Detailed Description

Extension methods for the Process class.

Member Function Documentation

GetMainModulePath()

static ? string VolumeControl.TypeExtensions.ProcessExtensions.GetMainModulePath ( this Process  process )

static

Gets the full path to the specified Process, process .

Using this instead of accessing Process.MainModule directly prevents exceptions when accessing a process built for a different architecture (32/64 bit)

Parameters

process

Process

Returns

The filepath of process if successful; otherwise null.

GetMainModulePathWMI()

static ? string VolumeControl.TypeExtensions.ProcessExtensions.GetMainModulePathWMI ( this Process  process )

static

Gets the full path to the specified Process, process .

This method uses WMI to make an SQL query, and as such, is very slow! Use GetMainModulePath(Process) instead wherever possible.

Parameters

process

Process

Returns

The filepath of process if successful; otherwise null.

HasExited()

static bool VolumeControl.TypeExtensions.ProcessExtensions.HasExited ( this Process  p )

static

This fixes a bug that microsoft hasn't fixed since at least Windows Vista that occurs when calling Process.HasExited.
DO NOT USE THE Process.HasExited PROPERTY, USE THIS INSTEAD!
