Hello,
I could help with an orientation, what I want to do is through a program in C # monitor an application when it runs.

What I have tried:

The idea that I have is that in Task Manager in the area of Background processes in this area, it shows me how much the application is running, I want to use a C # method to monitor that application, to tell it through a serial communication to a PIC that is in operation.

The following can get you started on getting process information...

You're not clear on how you'll start and manage your application. If you want an application that appears in the notification area, but does not normally have a form, the following might help:

If instead, you prefer it to run as a Windows service, check out the following:

Depending on your system, its likely you'll have to run with elevated privileges to monitor a different process.
