Foreach

for this to work, GetProcessFromSystem() has to return an IEnumerable. If it does, the foreach will be happy. However, if the enumerable would change while foreach is iterating over it, an exception would be thrown. Whether GetProcessFromSystem() implements and returns the information you hope to get cannot be determined without seeing it. :)

If you want, it returns
List, every time is called. If some app would crash and dissapear. Everytime this method calles, it construct the list from scratch. The only wory for me is that it wouldn't dissapear from the list, while it is in loop. It seems i am going to localize it first before passing to foreach loop. Also that method is a standart as you would get the same list from task manager -
Assuming, for the sake of this answer, that
GetProcessFromSystem()returns aListit would be better to do:List procs = GetProcessFromSystem();
foreach (Process proc in procs)
{
............
............
}Doing it the way you first proposed would be more greedy for system resources as (I think)
GPFS()would be called on each iteration of theforeachloop, consuming resources. In addition the list could easily change, items might be added or even removed. Anything implementingIEnumerablecan give unpredictable results, especially if things are removed from the list.Henry Minute Do not read medical books!

Can't agree with that. In
for (int x=0; x<bitmap.Width; x++)the Width property is fetched over and over, once per iteration, and returning the same value all the time; so it makes a lot of sense to use a local variable. Inforeach(type someVar in someExpressionYieldingAnEnumerator)the expression is evaluated once, and the resulting enumerator is worked with (i.e. its MoveNext method is called once per iteration). Using a local variable for holding the enumerator does not change a thing, except it adds to the typing and the risk of errors. :)Luc Pattyn [Forum Guidelines] [Why QA sucks] [My Articles] Nil Volentibus Arduum

Also that method is a standart as you would get the same list from task managerWhen the method is returning a List, and no one is altering the list, then the list remains as is. Some process crashing, being killed or getting started will not modify the list. If you don't understand or don't trust how foreach works, then I can only suggest you study it, or stop using it. :)

No, it wouldn't. Your code is functionally identical to the OP's code. The code in the foreach's paranthesis is executed only once and the code in the curly braces is executed for each item in the collection returned by the paranthesis code. Now, if the collection we modified by a background thread or by the code in the curly braces, then you've got a problem...

Thanks! I stand corrected. (Well actually I'm sitting)

Dave KreskowiakThe Elephant is Henry Minute. I have to do the typing for him because we cannot find a large enough keyboard.

You should buy him an iPhone then. There is this little app that lets him trumphet in morse code, each character gets translated automatically in a regular keystroke. If he dislikes the iPhone (or when the neighbors object), there is an alternative based on a Wii Fit. That requires flapping the ears, this time using what amounts to the semaphore alphabet. :)

We tried your second suggestion. Never again. He got a little excited once and it took 3 weeks and a whole case of baby-oil to get his ears untangled.

is there a YouTube reference, or any other proof of bodily harm, discomfort, or damage; so others could benefit and maybe start a class action suit against Nintendo? :wtf:
