Threads	Gets the set of threads that are running in the associated process.
TotalProcessorTime	Gets the total processor time for this process.
UserProcessorTime	Gets the user processor time for this process.
VirtualMemorySize	Gets the size of the process's virtual memory.
WorkingSet	Gets the associated process's physical memory usage.

Public Methods

Close	Frees all the resources that are associated with this component.
CloseMainWindow	Closes a process that has a user interface by sending a close message to its main window.
CreateObjRef (inherited from MarshalByRefObject)	Creates an object that contains all the relevant information required to generate a proxy used to communicate with a remote object.
Dispose (inherited from Component)	Overloaded. Releases the resources used by the Component.
EnterDebugMode	Puts a Process component in state to interact with operating system processes that run in a special mode by enabling the native property SeDebugPrivilege on the current thread.
Equals (inherited from Object)	Overloaded. Determines whether two Object instances are equal.
GetCurrentProcess	Gets a new Process component and associates it with the currently active process.
GetHashCode (inherited from Object)	Serves as a hash function for a particular type, suitable for use in hashing algorithms and data structures like a hash table.
GetLifetimeService (inherited from MarshalByRefObject)	Retrieves the current lifetime service object that controls the lifetime policy for this instance.
GetProcessById	Overloaded. Creates a new Process component, and associates it with the existing process resource that you specify.
GetProcesses	Overloaded. Creates an array of new Process components and associates them with existing process resources.
GetProcessesByName	Overloaded. Creates an array of new Process components and associates them with the existing process resources that all share the specified process name.
GetType (inherited from Object)	Gets the Type of the current instance.
InitializeLifetimeService (inherited from MarshalByRefObject)	Obtains a lifetime service object to control the lifetime policy for this instance.
Kill	Immediately stops the associated process.
LeaveDebugMode	Takes a Process component out of the state that lets it interact with operating system processes that run in a special mode.
Refresh	Discards any information about the associated process that has been cached inside the process component.
Start	Overloaded. Starts a process resource and associates it with a Process component.
ToString	Overridden. Formats the process's name as a string, combined with the parent component type, if applicable.
WaitForExit	Overloaded. Sets the period of time to wait for the associated process to exit, and blocks the current thread of execution until the time has elapsed or the process has exited.
WaitForInputIdle	Overloaded. Causes the Process component to wait for the associated process to enter an idle state.

Public Events

Disposed (inherited from Component)	Adds an event handler to listen to the Disposed event on the component.
Exited	Occurs when a process exits.

Protected Properties

DesignMode (inherited from Component)	Gets a value that indicates whether the Component is currently in design mode.
Events (inherited from Component)	Gets the list of event handlers that are attached to this Component.

Protected Methods

Dispose	Overloaded. Overridden. See Component.Dispose.
Finalize (inherited from Component)	Overridden. Releases unmanaged resources and performs other cleanup operations before the Component is reclaimed by garbage collection. In C# and C++, finalizers are expressed using destructor syntax.
GetService (inherited from Component)	Returns an object that represents a service provided by the Component or by its Container.
MemberwiseClone (inherited from Object)	Creates a shallow copy of the current Object.
OnExited	Raises the Exited event.
