ProcessDiagnosticInfo.GetForProcesses Method

public:
 static IVectorView<ProcessDiagnosticInfo ^> ^ GetForProcesses();

 static IVectorView<ProcessDiagnosticInfo> GetForProcesses();

public static IReadOnlyList<ProcessDiagnosticInfo> GetForProcesses();

function getForProcesses()

Public Shared Function GetForProcesses () As IReadOnlyList(Of ProcessDiagnosticInfo)

Returns

A list of ProcessDiagnosticInfo objects for all running processes.

Remarks

For UWP apps, processes must be in the same AppContainer.

To correlate ProcessDiagnosticInfo to AppDiagnosticInfo and retrieve the package name for a process, you can use the AppDiagnosticInfo class. The AppDiagnosticInfo class provides diagnostic information about an app, including its package details.

Here’s how you can retrieve the package name for a process:

1. Use the ProcessDiagnosticInfo.GetForProcesses() method to get a list of ProcessDiagnosticInfo objects.
2. For each ProcessDiagnosticInfo object, call the AppDiagnosticInfo.TryGetForProcess() method to retrieve the associated AppDiagnosticInfo.
3. Access the AppInfo property of the AppDiagnosticInfo object to get the AppInfo instance, which contains the package name.

The following example demonstrates how to achieve this:

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using Windows.System.Diagnostics;
using Windows.System;

class Program
{
    static void Main(string[] args)
    {
        IReadOnlyList<ProcessDiagnosticInfo> processes = ProcessDiagnosticInfo.GetForProcesses();

        foreach (var process in processes)
        {
            if (process.IsPackaged)
            {
                var appDiagnosticInfos = AppDiagnosticInfo.TryGetForProcess(process);

                if (appDiagnosticInfos != null)
                {
                    foreach (var appDiagnosticInfo in appDiagnosticInfos)
                    {
                    var appInfo = appDiagnosticInfo.AppInfo;
                    if (appInfo != null)
                    {
                        Console.WriteLine($"Process ID: {process.ProcessId}, Package Name: {appInfo.PackageFamilyName}");
                    }
                    else
                    {
                        Console.WriteLine($"Process ID: {process.ProcessId} has no associated AppInfo.");
                    }}");
                    }
                }
            }
            else
            {
                Console.WriteLine($"Process ID: {process.ProcessId} is not associated with an app package.");
            }
        }
    }
}

Some things to note:

• The IsPackaged property indicates whether the process is part of a packaged app. If IsPackaged is false, the process is not associated with an app package, and AppDiagnosticInfo.TryGetForProcess() will return null.
• Ensure your app has the necessary capabilities declared in the app manifest to access process and app diagnostic information.
