Get Running Processes Using A Library [modified]

[Aaron Dilliard]

I was wondering if there was a way to determine application dependencies at runtime.. I have several applications sharing a managed library registered in the GAC. When I need to update that library (not changing its version info, so that I dont have to recompile the programs to use the updated library), I need a way to see what open processes are using that library so I can kill them before the update. If anyone has any suggestions, please let me know. Thanks is advance, Aaron

Hello If you already know all the applications that could possibly be using that library, you could look the up using Process.GetProcesses Method. Otherwise reboot in safe mood, then replace it. Regards:rose:
