Using GetCurrentProcess API   

Hi, 

I want to find the current process name using System.diagnostics 
GetCurrentProcess API in Vista. But Vista prohibits a standard user from 
using the above command. 

Does anyone have any idea of how to implement this? If you can help out it 
would be great

It should work fine with UAC - if a standard user is using the 
GetCurrentProcess API, then UAC will prompt for credentials - other than 
that, it should work fine.

Re: Using GetCurrentProcess API   

Hi Zack,

Thanks for the reply. My requirement is that the GetCurrentProcess should 
work fine whether you login as admin or standard user without showing any 
prompt for credentials.

Re: Using GetCurrentProcess API   

I do not see the behaviour here ( Vista Beta2), and there is no reason why 
it should happen. My code:
System.Diagnostics.Process p = 
System.Diagnostics.Process.GetCurrentProcess();

Console.WriteLine(p.MainModule.FileName);

Console.WriteLine(p.StartTime);



works as expected .
