从C＃中的进程名称获取程序标题

Question

I'd like to obtain the title of a program from the running processes name, using C#.

Example:

I know a program is called "msn.exe", and i want to obtain the title (name), "Windows Live Messenger" from the application. How would i go about doing that? Googling has left me at a loss.

Answer 1

I think you need the Description field of WMI's Win32_Process Class:

It looks scary and foreign but it shouldn't be much code, just a few lines, when you're done.

Cheers!

Check out FileVersionInfo class might be helpful for you.

      var info = Process.GetProcessesByName("devenv").FirstOrDefault();

        if (info != null)
        {
            Console.WriteLine(info.MainModule.FileVersionInfo.ProductName);
            Console.WriteLine(info.MainModule.FileVersionInfo.FileDescription);
        }

Look at System.Diagnostics.Process.MainWindowTitle . It's not 100% consistent with the "Window Title" column in SysInternal's Process Explorer, but generally pulls the same thing.
