Handle a 64bit process

Hello

First of all im a no pro and just started out learning c# a few days ago.


With that in mind i have the following code to handle a process:
C#
public bool Process_Handle(string ProcessName)
{
    try
    {
        Process[] ProcList = Process.GetProcessesByName(ProcessName);
        if (ProcList.Length == 0)
            return false;
        else
        {
            pHandel = ProcList[0].Handle;
            return true;
        }
    }
    catch (Exception ex)
    {
        Console.Beep(); Console.WriteLine("Process_Handle - " + ex.Message);
        return false;
    }
}


When i try this with for example WinRAR it works i can check if its running or not etc but when i want to do this with for example iw5mp.exe*32 (in task manager), im guessing a 64bit program, it just says it didn't find the process.

Now my question is how can i make edit it so that process_handle will handle all processes including 64bit processes.



Huge thanks in advance, i've been frustrated with this for quite some time now

  4. Don't tell someone to read the manual. Chances are they have and don't get it. Provide an answer or move on to the next question.
