Name of program using the port

[Mystikal]

Heyy all..

i was wondering...

when i try to connect using my application (using winsock) through a port which is already engaged to another program on my computer, i get an error message saying "Port already in use" or something like that. Pretty normal.

Now, if i handle this error...is there any way later on by which i can get the name of the program using this port???

[Mystikal]

any suggestions???

I know you can get it using Netstat, so there must be some programmatical way of getting it - but I don't know what it is.

What I do is ShellExecute the cmd.exe and pass netstat -ano and a redirect output to a textfile. Then I read it back in as a basic file.
