Good afternoon I need to grab some information from a process, such as FileVersionInfo.FileDescription FileVersionInfo.ProductName and a 64-bit process, is it possible? when is a 32-bit process on how I can get this in the if, but it is a 64-bit process this information comes FileVersionInfo.FileDescription such as zero

C#

 if (32BitProcess)
{
    descricaoArquivo = Process.MainModule.FileVersionInfo.FileDescription;
    nomePrograma = Process.MainModule.FileVersionInfo.ProductName;
}
else
{
    nomePrograma =        Path.GetFileNameWithoutExtension(Assembly.GetEntryAssembly().Location);
    descricaoArquivo = Path.GetFileNameWithoutExtension(Assembly.GetEntryAssembly().FullName);
}

It looks like you are dealing only with the current process, not an external process. Is that right? There is not difference between 32-bit and 64-bit target architectures, in this respect. Just don't do this "if"...

actually works this way, every time I switch between windows, it takes the active process and give me this information, such as name of the executable and the location of it, but when is a 64-bit process and Some modules of this process is zero, them only when it is a 32-bit process

I think it would be easier if I could get the folder of the executable from the name of the process??

You did not answer my question. Is this the current process? What do you want to achieve, ultimately?

yes, is the current process

Now, what do you need to get? It looks like you are trying to do different things, but they are accessible in all architectures the same way. You can get entry assembly and its properties, any other assembly loaded with the process, the file representing main executable module of any of the assemblies loaded with your process, its name, version, whatever. Just remove your "if". What seems to be a problem?

actually every time I switch between windows, I seek the foreground process, if the process in question is an 32-bit process, I can get all the information, but if it is a 64 bit process, this process has access to some models, such as executable name and a description of

What are you talking about? What do you think is the "foreground process"? If you say this is a current process, there is only one...

sorry if I'm not being clear, I have a console application that checks the windows open, every time I change from one window to another he takes the procedure for this window is open now, because I need some information such as: name the program is open, for example, "google chrome" or "skype" and also check how long this window was open, and the location of this program, but when one of these windows has a 64-bit process, I have no access this information, the message from me is the following "A 32 bit processes cannot access modules of a 64 bit process"

What are you talking about? You told about a current process. Chrome and Skype are not current processes...
