    I am fairly sure that this is because the netstat never gets to .Close & .Dispose thus never receives an Exit signal so the .WaitForExit stays waiting. I am right in this assumption?

    I wouldn't pick it as the first suspect for an "index out of range" message.

    Can I track which index this is

    Did the exception come with a stack-trace? What is the content of "Exception.ToString()"?

    Let's ignore that you mentioned this.

    string[] s = Line.Split(' ')
    //tcp protocol has 7 values, udp connections to external IP address have 7 values
    if (s.Length == 7)
    {
    //insns is a sqlcommand - this works faultlessly every time
    insns.Parameters["@Protocol"].Value = s[0];
    insns.Parameters["@LocalHost"].Value = s[1];
    insns.Parameters["@LocalPort"].Value = s[2];
    insns.Parameters["@RemoteHost"].Value = s[3];
    insns.Parameters["@RemotePort"].Value = s[4];
    insns.Parameters["@State"].Value = s[5];
    insns.Parameters["@PID"].Value = s[6];
    }
    elseif (s.Length == 6)
    //non-connected udp ports have no 'state' thus they have only 6 values
    {
    insns.Parameters["@Protocol"].Value = s[0];
    insns.Parameters["@LocalHost"].Value = s[1];
    insns.Parameters["@LocalPort"].Value = s[2];
    insns.Parameters["@RemoteHost"].Value = s[3];
    insns.Parameters["@RemotePort"].Value = s[4];
    insns.Parameters["@State"].Value = "0";
    insns.Parameters["@PID"].Value = s[5];
    }
    else
    {
    throw new Exception("This is where it probably goes boom");
    }

    Hi Eddy, Sorry I haven't got back to you sooner. Did what you suggested but now it makes even less sense:

    throw new Exception("failed " + s.Length + " : " + s + " : " + Line);

    results in failed 6 : System.String[] : UDP 0.0.0.0 445 * * 4 pardon my ignorance but why is it ignoring the

    if (s.Length == 6)

    instruction?

      It shouldn't, if the string can be divided into six different words. The line that has been logged, would be broken down like this;

      1. UDP
      2. 0.0.0.0
      3. 445
      4. *
      5. *
      6. 4

      You can verify the result using the code below;

      foreach (string someWord in s)
      {
      System.Diagnostics.Debugger.WriteLine("'{0}'", someWord);
      }

      Also, can you post your (updated) code again?

        Hi Eddy, Usually it does divide. "UDP 0.0.0.0:445 *:* 4" put through

        if (s.Length == 6)
        {
        insns.Parameters["@Protocol"].Value = s[0];
        insns.Parameters["@LocalHost"].Value = s[1];

        insns.Parameters["@State"].Value = "0";
        insns.Parameters["@PID"].Value = s[5];
        }

        becomes s[0]=UDP s[1]=0.0.0.0 s[2]=445 s[3]=* s[4]=* s[5]=0 s[6]=4 if I remove the line "insns.Parameters["@State"].Value = "0";" the output reports "Listening" even though there is no value in the netstat cmd-line output.

          That's strange; if s[] contains six elements, how did we get seven items here? s[5] should be 4 IMHO, and s[6] shouldn't be there.

            same thing - service starts, netstat launches, CPU 99%

              from a cmd-line netstat -ano you can see that the field usually used by "State" tends to be empty under the UDP protocol unless there is some stream coming in in which case it will show "Established" or whatever. Because I am writing the values to a SQL table I need to keep s[6] in the PID column.

              don't think so, usually it works fine until it hits a null/empty value somewhere in the s[] array. What would be ideal is a way of saying: if (s[whatever].isNullorEmpty){s[whatever] = "0";}

                    What would be ideal is a way of saying:

                    Something like this?

                    string FetchFromArray(string[] source, int idx)
                    {
                    if (idx <= source.Length)
                    return source[idx];
                    else
                    return String.Empty;
                    }
                    public Form1()
                    {
                    InitializeComponent();
                    string[] s = "Hello world from Mars!".Split(' ');
                    Text = FetchFromArray(s, 7);
                    }

                    Sorted out the CPU thing, and so far haven't had any exceptions (after about an hour of testing). So far so good although I do need to ass a couple of modules back into the service. Now for my next problem...http://www.codeproject.com/Messages/4214946/Re-Getting-values-from-tasklist-exe-v-update.aspx[^]

                            tell it like it is fellow gastronaut... and thanks for looking in on the other thing that's making me tear my hair out... Why do so may seemingly simple things have to be so complicated...
