How to get system information

[kekrops]

How do i get processor usage status, virtual memory status, physical memory status and free space on C: drive using C# functions? I cant seem to locate this in the MSDN library. Thanks in advance.

Look at the performance counter component. It can do all the things you're asking for.

Here's a little bit of help, pulling code from something I wrote a while back: add this reference... using System.Diagnostics; create a perf counter... private PerformanceCounter cpuCounter; define it cpuCounter = new PerformanceCounter("Processor", "% Processor Time", "_Total", true); get the value: cpuCurrValue = Convert.ToInt32(cpuCounter.NextValue()); I created a myPerfMon class that uses the perf counters to get and return the values, and another class that tells it to do so on a timer.
