Hello,

i have to code an application wich is supposed to monitor processes
(creation date, CPU time, etc..) and CPUs ( user time by process, etc.)
for multi-CPUs servers.

I use WMI events to know when a process is created or deleted but i don't
know how to get the id of this process, i can't continue without this id.

could someone help me ?

thanks.
Stphan.

Stephan,

    The Win32_Process class has a ProcessId field that you can query for the
Process Id.

    Hope this helps.

I've seen this property and that's what i'm trying to get. In fact when i
launch my testing app, it will show "Process Created !" in a label when i
lauhc notepad for example. But i don't where i can get an handle on the
instance of the Win32_Process class created.

This is the way i did:
Using the WMI extension for VS .NET server explorer, I created a managed
class from Win32_Process and i subscribed to an event wiwh WQL query is :
SELECT * FROM __InstanceCreationEvent WITHIN 1 WHERE TargetInstance ISA
"Win32_Process"

this is the method used:
private void CreationEven{*filter*}cher_EventArrived(object sender,
System.Management.EventArrivedEventArgs e)

{

LblRes.Text= "Process Created !";

maybe i could do something with "System.Management.EventArrivedEventArgs e"
but i don't know what.
I just need the handle of the instance (as you wrote it there is the field
"ProcessID") created or the pid of the process...
