Getting CPU usage of a process in C#

Question

I would like to get CPU usage for a specific process..

This code

total_cpu = new PerformanceCounter(\"Processor\", \"% Processor Time\", \"_Total\");
         


        

Answer 1

Dividing by the processor/core count is what seemed to yield fairly accurate results when comparing against Task Manager.

To save people time:

// This will return the process usage as a percent of total processor utilisation.
var processUsage = process_cpu_usage/nextValue() / Environment.ProcessorCount;
