Determining which Process has exited

Hi all,

I have had a quick search through the posts, but can't seem to find an answer to my question, which is....

I have a Service that manages 'n' instances of processes on a machine. The Service needs to be able to determine when a process exits because unless it has shut it down this is an error and needs reporting so that something can be done about it.
As such I have a collection of Process which I have started for each I allow them to raise events and then connect to the Exited event.
However the arguments I recieve from this do not tell me which process it is that has exited. Whilst I can wind through the collection of Process objects and check for the one that has exited using the HasExited propert this seem somewhat untidy.
Am I missing somthing in the arguments which I can use or does the exited event simply not report that who has exited

Cheers
Tom

The first argument to your Exited event is the sender of the event. In your case it'll be the process that exited. Therefore cast the first parameter to a Process object and you'll have the information you want.

void OnProcessExited ( object sender, EventArgs e )
{
Process proc = sender as Process;

//Do your thing
}

Doh, of course.

Thought it must be me missing something.

Thanks very much.
