Question about GetProcessByName - iCrack - 05-06-2011

PHP Code:
Dim notepad() As Process System.Diagnostics.Process.GetProcessesByName("notepad"

Just wondering if this gets process "NoTePaD" or "Notepad" or only "notepad"? Simple question but I'm confused... Wacko

I'm just guessing now, didn't use C# for a while now.
GetProcessesByName(processName) should get all instances of "notepad", including "Notepad" and "NoTePaD".
So processName is as far as I know case-insensitive.

On the other hand, the member of Process, Process.ProcessName is case-sensitive.

Thanks for the info! That was what I thought but doesn't hurt to re-check... Ninja
