Submitted by donbermoy on Thursday, March 13, 2014 - 12:21.
In computing, a process is an instance of a computer program that is being executed. It contains the program code and its current activity. Depending on the operating system (OS), a process may be made up of multiple threads of execution that execute instructions concurrently. - wikipedia Here in this tutorial, we will create a program that will show processes in the computer. Now, let's start this tutorial! 1. Let's start with creating a Windows Form Application for this tutorial by following the following steps in Microsoft Visual Studio: Go to File, click New Project, and choose Windows Application. 2. Next, add only one Button named Button1 and labeled it as "Show Process" and one ListBox named ListBox1. You must design your layout like this: design 3. Now put add this code for your code module. This code is for Button1_Click: 
  1. Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
  2.         ListBox1.Items.Clear()
  3.         Dim a As System.Diagnostics.Process
  4.         For Each a In System.Diagnostics.Process.GetProcesses()
  5.             ListBox1.Items.Add(a.ProcessName)
  6.         Next
  7.     End Sub

Explanation:

First, we clear all the items in listbox. We initialized a variable a as our System.Diagnostics.Process. System.Diagnostics.Process Class provides access to local and remote processes and enables you to start and stop local system processes. Process.GetProcesses Method in the for each loop means creating an array of new process components and associates them with existing process resources. Then the ListBox will hold and display all the processes in your computer. The ProcessName property holds an executable file name, such as Outlook, that does not include the .exe extension or the path. It is helpful for getting and manipulating all the processes that are associated with the same executable file.
