How are you "accessing" services? Show your code

Ercan Sormaz 18-Jul-19 4:08am

ServiceController[] scServices;
scServices = ServiceController.GetServices();
foreach (ServiceController scTemp in scServices)
{

if (scTemp.Status == ServiceControllerStatus.Running)
{
listBox4.Items.Add("Service: " + scTemp.ServiceName).ToString();
listBox5.Items.Add("Display name: " + scTemp.DisplayName).ToString();
}

Solution 1

In the System.Diagnostics namespace use a Process Class[^]. See the properties for memory size

See this link[^] for an example of how to get a Process object from a given ServiceController

I can't use Process class and ServiceController together, unfortunately

CHill60 18-Jul-19 4:26am

Yes you can. See my updated solution for an example

Ercan Sormaz 18-Jul-19 6:05am

ManagementObject wmiService;
wmiService = new ManagementObject("Win32_Service.Name='" + scTemp.ServiceName + "'");
object o = wmiService.GetPropertyValue("ProcessId");

int processId = (int)((UInt32)o);
Process process = Process.GetProcessById(processId);
listBox1.Items.Add(process.VirtualMemorySize64.ToString());
}

i did this to calculate usage of memory for each service but i take an error.
System.NullReferenceException: 'Object reference not set to an instance of an object.'

CHill60 18-Jul-19 7:14am

On which line?

Ercan Sormaz 18-Jul-19 7:36am

int processId = (int)((UInt32)o);
This line.

CHill60 18-Jul-19 7:45am

So when you debug what is in wmiService.GetPropertyValue("ProcessId")? Is the service still running at this point? It sounds very much as if it might be stopped

Ercan Sormaz 18-Jul-19 8:27am

Still running.
