Retrieve process network usage

Question

How can I get a process send/receive bytes? the preferred way is doing it with C#.

I\'ve searched this a lot and I didn\'t find any simple solution for this. Some so

You can use PerformanceCounter. Sample code:

//Define 
string pn = "MyProcessName.exe";
var readOpSec  = new PerformanceCounter("Process","IO Read Operations/sec", pn);
var writeOpSec = new PerformanceCounter("Process","IO Write Operations/sec", pn);
var dataOpSec  = new PerformanceCounter("Process","IO Data Operations/sec", pn);
var readBytesSec = new PerformanceCounter("Process","IO Read Bytes/sec", pn);
var writeByteSec = new PerformanceCounter("Process","IO Write Bytes/sec", pn);
var dataBytesSec = new PerformanceCounter("Process","IO Data Bytes/sec", pn);

var counters = new List
                {
                readOpSec,
                writeOpSec,
                dataOpSec,
                readBytesSec,
                writeByteSec,
                dataBytesSec
                };

// get current value
foreach (PerformanceCounter counter in counters)
{
    float rawValue = counter.NextValue();

    // display the value
}

And this is to get performance counters for the Network card. Note it is not process specific

string cn = "get connection string from WMI";

var networkBytesSent = new PerformanceCounter("Network Interface", "Bytes Sent/sec", cn);
var networkBytesReceived = new PerformanceCounter("Network Interface", "Bytes Received/sec", cn);
var networkBytesTotal = new PerformanceCounter("Network Interface", "Bytes Total/sec", cn);

Counters.Add(networkBytesSent);
Counters.Add(networkBytesReceived);
Counters.Add(networkBytesTotal);
