CPU Usage per program

DinoRondelly asked:

Open original thread
I have been asked to build something like the task manager, I need to get a list of processes and how much of the cpu they are using in % value.

These dont need to be running counts i just need what percentage of the cpu was being used when my application started up.

I am getting the cpu percentage using the below code

VB
Public Shared Function GetCpuUsage() As Integer

    Dim myCount As Integer
    Using cpu = New PerformanceCounter()

        With cpu
            .CategoryName = "Processor"
            .CounterName = "% Processor Time"
            .InstanceName = "_Total"
        End With

        myCount = cpu.NextValue()
        System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(1000)
        myCount = cpu.NextValue()
        System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(1000)
        myCount = cpu.NextValue()
    End Using

    Return myCount
End Function


The question I have is how would i get the % value of each process that is using any cpu usage and ignore anything that is at 0?

When answering a question please:
  1. Read the question carefully.
  2. Understand that English isn't everyone's first language so be lenient of bad spelling and grammar.
  3. If a question is poorly phrased then either ask for clarification, ignore it, or edit the question and fix the problem. Insults are not welcome.
  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.
