How do I get list of Process Names running, in VB.NET?

Question

I am trying to find out if an instance of an application (not vb.net) is already running - because I will want to start it but I don\'t want to start it if it is already run

Answer 1

Just tried the answer posted of Reed Copesy and this seems to be changed, what worked for me is:

Dim procExists as Boolean = Process.GetProcesses().Any(Function(p) p.ProcessName.Contains(processName))

Also is possible to retrieve the array by name and check directly if is contained on the process array:

Process.GetProcessesByName(processName).Length > 0

Thanks!
