I am developing an application to monitor new running processes before the main thread starts running. The problem is that the code below is executed when all threads in the process are loaded and the process is doing its job. I want to do something like the "sCreateProcessNotifyRoutineEx" function from C++ in C#. Please help with this

What I have tried:

        [DllImport("kernel32")]
        public extern static int OpenProcess(int access, bool inherit, int pid);
        [DllImport("kernel32.dll", SetLastError = true)]
        public static extern bool ReadProcessMemory(IntPtr hProcess, UIntPtr lpBaseAddress, [Out] byte[] lpBuffer, int dwSize, IntPtr lpNumberOfBytesRead);

ManagementEventWatcher processStartEvent = new ManagementEventWatcher("SELECT * FROM Win32_ProcessStartTrace");

public Service1()
{
            InitializeComponent();
            processStartEvent.EventArrived += new 
            EventArrivedEventHandler(processStartEvent_EventArrived);
            processStartEvent.Start();
}

public async void processStartEvent_EventArrived(object sender, EventArrivedEventArgs e)
        {
            try
            {
                string processName = e.NewEvent.Properties["ProcessName"].Value.ToString();
                string processID = Convert.ToInt32(e.NewEvent.Properties["ProcessID"].Value).ToString();
                int pid = Convert.ToInt32(e.NewEvent.Properties["ProcessID"].Value);
                Process p = Process.GetProcessById(pid);
                string wholeFileName = p.MainModule.FileName;
                await AnalyzeStartup(wholeFileName, p);
            }
            catch { }
        }

I think that's the point of "managed code". You want to kludge it until it's "unmanaged"; so might as well do it in unmanaged code in the first place.
