Get DLL names from running process, possible?

Question

I'm seeking for a way to get DLL names from a running process, sorry if I'm poorly expressing myself though.

I need to "connect" to this process via it's name or PID and retrieve the DLL names that it's using if that's possible.

Regards.

Yes it is possible. You can use the Process class. It has a Modules property that lists all the loaded modules.

For example, to list all processes and all modules to the console:

Process[] processes = Process.GetProcesses();

foreach(Process process in processes) {
    Console.WriteLine("PID:  " + process.Id);
    Console.WriteLine("Name: " + process.ProcessName);
    Console.WriteLine("Modules: ");

    foreach(ProcessModule module in process.Modules) {
        Console.WriteLine(module.FileName);
    }
}

You can of course check Process.Id for the PID you would like etc.

For more information check out the documentation for this class:-

Note: This code might get upset for certain system processes which you will not have access permission to.
