Name of the process with highest cpu usage

Question

I have a Samurize config that shows a CPU usage graph similar to Task manager.

How do I also display the name of the process with the current highest CPU usage per

You can also do it this way :-

public Process getProcessWithMaxCPUUsage()
    {
        const int delay = 500;
        Process[] processes = Process.GetProcesses();

        var counters = new List();

        foreach (Process process in processes)
        {
            var counter = new PerformanceCounter("Process", "% Processor Time", process.ProcessName);
            counter.NextValue();
            counters.Add(counter);
        }
        System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(delay);
        //You must wait(ms) to ensure that the current
        //application process does not have MAX CPU
        int mxproc = -1;
        double mxcpu = double.MinValue, tmpcpu;
        for (int ik = 0; ik < counters.Count; ik++)
        {
            tmpcpu = Math.Round(counters[ik].NextValue(), 1);
            if (tmpcpu > mxcpu)
            {
                mxcpu = tmpcpu;
                mxproc = ik;
            }

        }
        return processes[mxproc];
    }

Usage:-

static void Main()
    {
        Process mxp=getProcessWithMaxCPUUsage();
        Console.WriteLine(mxp.ProcessName);
    }
