I have these codes for receiving sms from my gsm modem. It works but I want the messages to be viewed on a listbox or textbox. Can someone help me on how to do this?
public void Read()
{
gsmPort.WriteLine("AT+CMGF=1"); // Set mode to Text(1) or PDU(0)
Thread.Sleep(1000); // Give a second to write
gsmPort.WriteLine("AT+CPMS=\"SM\""); // Set storage to SIM(SM)
Thread.Sleep(1000);
gsmPort.WriteLine("AT+CMGL=\"ALL\""); // What category to read ALL, REC READ, or REC UNREAD
Thread.Sleep(1000);
gsmPort.Write("\r");
Thread.Sleep(1000);
string response = gsmPort.ReadExisting();
if (response.EndsWith("\r\nOK\r\n"))
{
Console.WriteLine(response);
// add more code here to manipulate reponse string.
}
else
{
// add more code here to handle error.
Console.WriteLine(response);
}
This is how I communicate with my modem using these codes. It works but only on console. I want add these to my winform
class GSMsms

private SerialPort gsmPort = null;
private bool IsDeviceFound { get; set; } = false;
public bool IsConnected { get; set; } = false;

Is there any possibility to determine how a c# application was being started?
In my case I want to check if this application (wpf) is being started by a shortcut located in a specific folder.
So, there are two ways to open my application
using direct shortcut
starting another application which is like an update manager to keep my application up to date. After checking, it starts my application with Process.Start()
And I want to ensure that the application is only able to be started with the update manager.
A trick you could use is to check the parent's PID, and then get some of the parent's process information.
If the parent's process name is something like "explorer.exe" then the application was started from the shortcut or directly by double-clicking it on explorer.
Otherwise, it was started from another application: it could be your updater application, it could also be another application with the same name as your updater application...
This means you have to re-think how deep you want to go for such a solution, and how deep do you want security control. You could pass arguments from your updater to your main application, or implement some inter-process communication with token exchanges... it is impossible to make a 100% secure system.
As someone commented above, this seems like a XY problem... or maybe not. Maybe it is just a security concern. It's recommended to revise what exactly are you aiming for this software.
In case you need sample code for retrieving process information in .NET (by using System.Management), then just give a try to the code listed below. All you have to do is to place it in a console application project named 'Updater', and correctly set the path to your main application in the code.
If you play a little bit with this example by starting and closing YourApplication.exe in different situations, then you should be able to see an output like this:
Parent process 'Updater.exe' [PID=5472]
Parent process 'explorer.exe' [PID=12052]

If there are only 2 ways of starting your app, the second method should pass a parameter (a GUID?) to Process.Start() - generated by your updater app.
Maybe devise some kind of algorithm that allows the app to start only with the token.
From what I know this is impossible in the way you would like it to be but there's one trick which you can use. Firstly change your WPF application's entry method to get the command line arguments, and ( for example ) use -u argument to distinct from where the application was started. Then after -u you can pass a HWND or a process ID that matches your updater. Of course you have to then check if that application is running and if it's your updater.
example :
// updated process start
ProcessStartInfo psi = new ProcessStartInfo("your/WPF/application.exe");
psi.Arguments = "-u " + Process.GetCurrentProcess().Id;
// fill up rest of the properties you need
Process.Start(psi);
// wpf application's entry point
void Main(string[] args)
{
string updaterProcessIdstr = string.Empty;
for (int i = 0; i < args.Length; i++)
{
if(args[i] == "-u")
{
updaterProcessIdstr = args[i + 1];
i++;
}
}
int pid = int.Parse(updaterProcessIdstr);
Process updaterProcess = Process.GetProcessById(pid);
// do some validation here
// send something to stdin and read from stdout
// to determine if it was started from that updater.
}
Please check the code that I am using:
public static string AutoDetectArduinoPort()
{
ConnectionOptions options = PrepareOptions();
ManagementScope scope = PrepareScope(Environment.MachineName, options, #"\root\CIMV2");
// Prepare the query and searcher objects.
ObjectQuery objectQuery = new ObjectQuery("SELECT * FROM Win32_PnPEntity WHERE ConfigManagerErrorCode = 0");
ManagementObjectSearcher portSearcher = new ManagementObjectSearcher(scope, objectQuery);
using (portSearcher)
{
string portName = "";
foreach (ManagementObject currentObject in portSearcher.Get())
{
if (currentObject != null)
{
object currentObjectCaption = currentObject["Caption"];
if (currentObjectCaption != null)
{
portName = currentObjectCaption.ToString();
if (portName.Contains("(COM"))
{
if (portName.Contains("Arduino")) // e.g. "Arduino Mega 2560 (COM3)"
{
portName = portName.Substring(portName.LastIndexOf("(COM")).Replace("(", string.Empty).Replace(")", string.Empty);
return portName;
}
}
}
}
}
}
return null;
}
And i call it like this:
string portName = AutoDetectArduinoPort();
MessageBox.Show(portName); // shows "COM3"
if (portName != null)
{
serialPort.PortName = portName;
serialPort.Open();
......
Runtime exception (System.IO.IOException) is thrown at this last line saying that "The port 'COM3' does not exist." while it is showing in Device Manager and all.
What am i doing wrong? Please help me fix this prob. Irony is that it was working all fine before windows 10 upgrade :(
I am looking for a process by the name of "MyApp.exe" and I want to make sure I get the process that is owned by a particular user.
I use the following code to get a list of the processes:
Process[] processes = Process.GetProcessesByName("MyApp");
This gives me a list of processes, but there does not appear to be a way in the Process class to determine who owns that process? Any thoughts on how I can do this?
You can use WMI to get the user owning a certain process. To use WMI you need to add a reference to the System.Management.dll to your project.
By process id:
public string GetProcessOwner(int processId)
{
string query = "Select * From Win32_Process Where ProcessID = " + processId;
ManagementObjectSearcher searcher = new ManagementObjectSearcher(query);
ManagementObjectCollection processList = searcher.Get();
foreach (ManagementObject obj in processList)
{
string[] argList = new string[] { string.Empty, string.Empty };
int returnVal = Convert.ToInt32(obj.InvokeMethod("GetOwner", argList));
if (returnVal == 0)
{
// return DOMAIN\user
return argList[1] + "\\" + argList[0];
}
}
return "NO OWNER";
}
By process name (finds the first process only, adjust accordingly):
public string GetProcessOwner(string processName)
{
string query = "Select * from Win32_Process Where Name = \"" + processName + "\"";
ManagementObjectSearcher searcher = new ManagementObjectSearcher(query);
ManagementObjectCollection processList = searcher.Get();
foreach (ManagementObject obj in processList)
{
string[] argList = new string[] { string.Empty, string.Empty };
int returnVal = Convert.ToInt32(obj.InvokeMethod("GetOwner", argList));
if (returnVal == 0)
{
// return DOMAIN\user
string owner = argList[1] + "\\" + argList[0];
return owner;
}
}
return "NO OWNER";
}
Since WMI is not always a fast way of retrieving information, here is the native P/Invoke way of doing it:
The return value is null when unsuccessful. In order to get the names of processes running under the SYSTEM user, you need to execute this code as administrator.
private static string GetProcessUser(Process process)
{
IntPtr processHandle = IntPtr.Zero;
try
{
OpenProcessToken(process.Handle, 8, out processHandle);
WindowsIdentity wi = new WindowsIdentity(processHandle);
string user = wi.Name;
return user.Contains(#"\") ? user.Substring(user.IndexOf(#"\") + 1) : user;
}
catch
{
return null;
}
finally
{
if (processHandle != IntPtr.Zero)
{
CloseHandle(processHandle);
}
}
}
[DllImport("advapi32.dll", SetLastError = true)]
private static extern bool OpenProcessToken(IntPtr ProcessHandle, uint DesiredAccess, out IntPtr TokenHandle);
[DllImport("kernel32.dll", SetLastError = true)]
[return: MarshalAs(UnmanagedType.Bool)]
private static extern bool CloseHandle(IntPtr hObject);
Here is the VB version for the non C# speakers:
Function GetProcessOwner(ProcessName As String) As String
Dim query = "Select * from Win32_Process Where Name = """ + ProcessName + """"
Dim searcher = New ManagementObjectSearcher(query)
Dim processList = searcher.Get()
For Each obj As ManagementObject In processList
Dim argList As String() = {String.Empty, String.Empty}
Dim returnVal = Convert.ToInt32(obj.InvokeMethod("GetOwner", argList))
If returnVal = 0 Then
' return DOMAIN\user
Dim owner = argList(1) + "\\" + argList(0)
Return owner
End If
Next
Return "NO OWNER"
End Function
Function GetProcessOwner(processId As Integer) As String
Dim query = "Select * From Win32_Process Where ProcessID = " & processId
Dim searcher = New ManagementObjectSearcher(query)
Dim processList = searcher.Get()
For Each obj As ManagementObject In processList
Dim argList As String() = {String.Empty, String.Empty}
Dim returnVal = Convert.ToInt32(obj.InvokeMethod("GetOwner", argList))
If returnVal = 0 Then
' return DOMAIN\user
Return argList(1) + "\\" + argList(0)
End If
Next
Return "NO OWNER"
End Function
Unfortunately there's no native .Net way of getting the process owner.
Have a look at these for a potential solution:
http://msmvps.com/blogs/siva/archive/2006/10/02/Getting-Windows-Process-Owner-Name.aspx
http://www.codeproject.com/KB/cs/processownersid.aspx
var myApp = Process.GetProcessesByName("MyApp").FirstOrDefault();
if (myApp != null)
{
string username = GetUsername(myApp.SessionId);
}
Implementation of method GetUsername here: https://stackoverflow.com/a/35810391/10412686
With the help from detecting-user-name-from-process-id I have written the better - quicker - version of this function:
public static string GetProcessOwnerByID(int processId)
{
IntPtr processHandle = IntPtr.Zero;
IntPtr tokenHandle = IntPtr.Zero;
try
{
processHandle = OpenProcess(PROCESS_QUERY_INFORMATION, false, processId);
if (processHandle == IntPtr.Zero)
return "NO ACCESS";
OpenProcessToken(processHandle, TOKEN_QUERY, out tokenHandle);
using (WindowsIdentity wi = new WindowsIdentity(tokenHandle))
{
string user = wi.Name;
return user.Contains(#"\") ? user.Substring(user.IndexOf(#"\") + 1) : user;
}
}
finally
{
if (tokenHandle != IntPtr.Zero) CloseHandle(tokenHandle);
if (processHandle != IntPtr.Zero) CloseHandle(processHandle);
}
}

Add a reference to your project:
System.Management
Then add the following method to your project:
public string GetProcessOwner(int processId)
{
string MethodResult = null;
try
{
StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
sb.Append(" SELECT ");
sb.Append(" * ");
sb.Append(" FROM ");
sb.Append(" WIN32_PROCESS");
sb.Append(" WHERE ");
sb.Append(" ProcessId = " + processId);
string Query = sb.ToString();
ManagementObjectCollection Processes = new ManagementObjectSearcher(Query).Get();
foreach (ManagementObject Process in Processes)
{
string[] Args = new string[] { "", "" };
int ReturnCode = Convert.ToInt32(Process.InvokeMethod("GetOwner", Args));
switch(ReturnCode)
{
case 0:
MethodResult = Args[1] + "\\" + Args[0];
break;
default:
MethodResult = "None";
break;
}
}
}
catch //(Exception ex)
{
//ex.HandleException();
}
return MethodResult;
}
Then add this method:
public DataTable GetProcessTable()
{
DataTable MethodResult = null;
try
{
List<Process> Processes = Process.GetProcesses().ToList<Process>();
DataTable dt = new DataTable();
dt.Columns.Add("Name", typeof(string));
dt.Columns["Name"].ReadOnly = true;
dt.Columns.Add("Id", typeof(string));
dt.Columns["Id"].ReadOnly = true;
dt.Columns.Add("Owner", typeof(string));
dt.Columns["Owner"].ReadOnly = true;
foreach (Process p in Processes)
{
DataRow r = dt.NewRow();
bool Match = false;
r["Id"] = p.Id.ToString();
r["Name"] = p.ProcessName;
r["Owner"] = GetProcessOwner(p.Id);
dt.Rows.Add(r);
}
MethodResult = dt;
}
catch //(Exception ex)
{
//ex.HandleException();
}
return MethodResult;
}
Calling GetProcessTable() gives you a DataTable of all running processes along with their Id and Name, which is handy because it can be used as a DataGridView's Datasource parameter.
Let me know if you need any more fields adding to the table.
WMI is really the worst possible way how to get this information from Process. But... sometimes you need to get that info from remote process, and in that case you sadly need WMI. So if you have to, or want to use WMI, I suggest to do it like this (it's more than 60% quicker then classic WMI methods above):
Method:
public struct WMIProcessProperties
{
public string Owner;
public int ID;
}
public static async Task<Dictionary<Process, WMIProcessProperties>> GetWMIProperties(this IEnumerable<Process> processes)
{
Dictionary<Process, WMIProcessProperties> result = new Dictionary<Process, WMIProcessProperties>();
if (processes == null || processes.Count() == 0) { return result; }
string selectQuery = "SELECT Handle, ProcessID FROM Win32_Process";
selectQuery += processes.Count() <= 10 ? string.Format(" WHERE ProcessID = {0}", string.Join(" OR ProcessID = ", processes.Select(p => p.Id))) : string.Empty;
using (CimSession session = await Task.Run(() => CimSession.Create(processes.ElementAt(0).MachineName)))
{
List<CimInstance> instances = await Task.Run(() => session.QueryInstances(#"root\cimv2", "WQL", selectQuery).ToList());
List<Task<WMIProcessProperties>> tasks = new List<Task<WMIProcessProperties>>();
for (int i = 0; i < instances.Count; i++)
{
CimInstance currentInstance = instances[i];
tasks.Add(Task.Run(() =>
{
int id = Convert.ToInt32(currentInstance.CimInstanceProperties["ProcessID"].Value);
string owner;
using (CimMethodResult getOwnerResult = session.InvokeMethod(currentInstance, "GetOwner", null))
{
owner = getOwnerResult.OutParameters["User"]?.Value?.ToString();
}
currentInstance.Dispose();
return new WMIProcessProperties { Owner = owner, ID = id };
}));
}
WMIProcessProperties[] wmiProcessProperties = await Task.WhenAll(tasks).ConfigureAwait(false);
for (int i = 0; i < wmiProcessProperties.Length; i++)
{
result.Add(processes.Single(p => p.Id == wmiProcessProperties[i].ID), wmiProcessProperties[i]);
}
}
return result;
}
If you want to see little time comparison, see this answer.
Loop through collection to check for permissions.
Most cases current user will not be administrator
List<Process> processes = Process.GetProcessesByName(Text).ToList();
for (int i = processes.Count - 1; i > -1; i--)
{
try
{
if (processes[i].MainModule?.FileName is null)
processes.RemoveAt(i);
}
catch (Exception)
{
processes.RemoveAt(i);

Is there any way available to get login username
did you try that?
Environment.UserName
it will give you the user name of the user currently login on windows
EDIT
I found this bit of code here http://www.debugging.com/bug/20243, it may solve your issue.
solution by using WMI ( http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.management.aspx ):
private string GetUserName()
{
string result = "";
using (ManagementObjectSearcher searcher = new ManagementObjectSearcher("SELECT UserName, Name FROM Win32_ComputerSystem"))
{
foreach (ManagementObject mo in searcher.Get())
{
if (mo["UserName"] != null)
result = mo["UserName"].ToString();
if (mo["Name"] != null)
result += " (" + mo["Name"].ToString() + ")";
}
}
return result;
}
Unless I'm not understanding you correctly, I believe it's just:
using System.Security.Principal;
this.nametext = WindowsIdentity.GetCurrent().Name;
