Has anyone seen code to call EnumProcessModules and EnumProcesses from C# lately?

Got a setup shim pogram all written in C# and need to determine if any process has a DLL loaded prior to copying files.

Thanks.

I wonder why would you need this in .NET, where the concept of modules is different from native Windows API?

From: Wes Aday : Would Process.GetProcesses() not do the same thing?

Yes it would. Thanks for the tip.

Collect array of processes:

C#

// Get all processes running on the local computer.
Process [] localAll = Process.GetProcesses();

For each process get the modules:
ProcessModuleCollection myProcessModuleCollection = myProcess.Modules;

For each module process the filename:
myProcessModule = myProcessModuleCollection[i];
myProcessModule.FileName

That's what I need to do.

By modules, I mean I need to know exxactly which DLL and the filepath to them any process has loaded. You cannot replace a DLL if it is in use by a program.
