Measure a process CPU and RAM usage

Question

Hi, I've found various ways to track down CPU's and RAM's usage from within a process, in C#. I'd like to obtain those infos for an external program (like providing its PID).

Is there anything in the .NET framework that can help me?

Thanks

Answer 1

Use Performance Monitor, and add counters for specific processes.

If you need to analyse the results, you can have them written to a performance log.

Answer 2

You could host a PowerShell RunSpace and call stuff in there - it's got a lot more native stuff dealing with this type of thing.

Answer 3

You can pass an instance into a System.Diagnostics.PerformanceCounter constructor - this should allow you to specify the process instance you want to monitor

Answer 4

you can use process class
