I guess it's possible to do using performanceCounter..
Please, help.
EDIT: "Write operations" or "records count", I don't know how to say correctly, because my OS is non-English. Just what you see in process list of your Task Manager, that is what I trying to do. Or by another words:
if you copied one file, this counter for explorer.exe +=1;

I'm afraid your question is not very clear. You need to know the count of processes - but what do you mean by write operation?

Are you trying to ask how to get a count of all the write operations for a list of one or more processes?

I believe you want to track whenever a process writes something to a file. If you do not, following will not help.

I think you will need a combination of FileSystemWatcher and ProcessModulesCollection. First you need to set up a watcher to see whenever something is written to a file. Then, you will need to iterate through the Process.Modules collection to find if that process has locked the file. Seems a very inefficient and incorrect in some cases way to me but that is what I could come up with for now. May be someone can better my solution. :)
