Solution 2

C#

Process[] p= System.Diagnostics.Process.GetProcesses();
           for (int i = 0; i < p.Length; i++)
           {
               Console.WriteLine(p[i].ProcessName);
           }

Nice Answer...
Being lazy I would use..
foreach(Process pcs in p)
{
MessageBox.Show(""+p.Name);
}

The following code shows all the running processes in the Computer

VB

'Create New Object of System.Diagnostic.Process
Dim Processes as System.Diagnostic.Process()
'Get the Collection of all Available Processes
Processes=System.Diagnostic.Process.GetProcesses
For Each Proc In Processes
'It Shows the all the available Processes Name through MessageBox
MessageBox.Show(Proc.Name)
Next
