How to get path of a running process?

[abelLazm]

hello to all

In my code I have to check currently running processes from task manager and perform some actions on them but the problem I am facing in doing so is that I am not able to get a processes location from where it is running (i.e. path of exe file). Can any cody help me in this regard.

Thanx

So assuming you have an array of all processes, in your foreach

foreach(Process p in processes)
{
   string path = p.MainModule.FileName;
}

Which process are you trying to get the filepath for (the value of name in line 35 of Form1.cs)?

[abelLazm]

i am checking paths of all of the processes running right now. but my aim is to check open websites, documents (.doc, .ppt, .pdf, .xls etc), images and exe files started by user

Thank you Momerath :)... your post made me check my code and it is solved now. the exception was because i was checking paths of process running from server of my office on which of course i don't have permission to check path :p any way thanx
