Did you happen to look through Intellisense when you typed Process.?? There's a method in there called GetProcessById[^].

I have tried with this method but it's giving error like process with id 1506 not running currently.

Well, it's either not running any more or you're looking on the wrong machine for the process ID.

Solution 3

VB

Dim pid As Process

            pid = Process.GetProcessById(1, "My-PC")
            If pid.Start = True Then
                MessageBox.Show("The Office Admin is already running!", "Warning !!!", MessageBoxButtons.OK, MessageBoxIcon.Error, MessageBoxDefaultButton.Button2)
                e.Cancel = True
            End If
        End Sub

VB

Dim p() As Process
           p = Process.GetProcessesByName("Office Admin")

           If p.Length > 1 Then
               MessageBox.Show("The Office Admin is already running!", "Warning !!!", MessageBoxButtons.OK, MessageBoxIcon.Error, MessageBoxDefaultButton.Button2)
               e.Cancel = True

Solution 4

I have solved this by below method
here I am passing processed this method will return true if id exist otherwise false. I have converted this method to VB and it's working fine.

C#

private bool ProcessExists(int id)
       {
           return Process.GetProcesses().Any(x => x.Id == id);
       }

Thanks,

In VB

Private Function ProcessExists(id As Integer) As Boolean
Return Process.GetProcesses().Any(Function(x) x.Id = id)
End Function
