Process.TotalProcessorTime Property
Gets the total processor time for this process.
Assembly: System (in System.dll)
Property Value
Type: System.TimeSpanA TimeSpan that indicates the amount of time that the associated process has spent utilizing the CPU. This value is the sum of the UserProcessorTime and the PrivilegedProcessorTime.
| Exception | Condition |
|---|---|
| PlatformNotSupportedException | The platform is Windows 98 or Windows Millennium Edition (Windows Me), which does not support this property. |
| NotSupportedException | You are attempting to access the TotalProcessorTime property for a process that is running on a remote computer. This property is available only for processes that are running on the local computer. |
The following example starts an instance of Notepad. The example then retrieves and displays various properties of the associated process. The example detects when the process exits, and displays the process's exit code.
