From: Tom C on 8 Dec 2009 15:25 I have spent hours looking for this and just can't find how to to get the process id of a service running on a given machine. I have a service As System.ServiceProcess.ServiceController in hand but I can't seem to connect the dots to get the correct Process Id. We have multple instances of the same app running for different customers and I need to know at a glance which instance is connected to what Process Id. Anyone know how to do this?

Can interrogate each "instance"? If so, you could ask /it/ to find out its own Process Id, using System.Diagnostics.Process.GetCurrentProcess().Id Failing that, how does each customer access their own "instance"? Presumably there must be something that directs Customer A to one instance and B to another. HTH, Phill W.

We know what they are in our management console by the port that they are using and a friendly name but this information is not available to me when trying to attach to a service with visual studio or when looking at task manager; the port is not available; only the process name and pid. So I have the port and friendly name in my management console and I want to also display the pid then I can cross reference it there and know which of the n instance to attach my debugger to. Now if I knew how to query the instance, I would have this data right? That is the question. All that I have in hand is a dim service As System.ServiceProcess.ServiceController. What I need is the code to get to the running process pid from there.

See QueryServiceStatusEx() or EnumServicesStatusEx() API functions. One of the things they return is dwProcessId. I am not sure if there is an equivalent library function for this. A quick search shows nothing.
