Updating Processes

[ForumDoe]

I've been looking at different ways of getting processes and updating them. I first looked at WMI and then decided to just use the Process Class.

I found some code on another web site that shows how to update processes in a ListBox. Ideally, I'd like to use a listview.

I've been trying for a couple of days on how to get this to work, but I've come up short. If you all can help me understand the process, I'd appreciate it.

The original poster created a class first and then updated the processes within a timer I believe. I tested it with a listbox, and it works well. The process is surprisingly smooth.

Class proc
        Public name As String
        Public Id As Integer
        Overrides Function ToString() As String
            Return name
        End Function
    End Class

Private Sub UpdateProcesses()
        proclist = Process.GetProcesses()
        For Each p As Process In proclist
            Dim p2 As New proc
            p2.name = p.ProcessName
            p2.Id = p.Id
            Dim add As Boolean = True
            For Each pr As proc In ListBox1.Items
                If (pr.Id = p.Id) Then
                    add = False
                End If
            Next
            If add Then
                ListBox1.Items.Add(p2)
            End If
        Next
        Dim l As New ListBox()
        Dim b As New ListBox.ObjectCollection(l, ListBox1.Items)
        For Each p As proc In b
            Try
                Dim p2 As Process = Process.GetProcessById(p.Id)
                Dim s = p2.ProcessName
            Catch ex As Exception
                ListBox1.Items.Remove(p)
            End Try
        Next
    End Sub

Thanks
