List all running Windows processes
The System.Diagnostics.Process class exposes the GetProcesses static method, that returns a list of all running processes. It is quite easy to leverage this feature to display all running processes in a ListBox or ComboBox control:
' This code assume that you've used the following Imports
' Imports System.Diagnostics.
' Start with an empty ListBox.
lstProcesses.Items.Clear()
' Display ProcessName property in the list area.
lstProcesses.DisplayMember = "ProcessName"
' Load info on all running processes in the ListBox control.
Dim p As Process
For Each p In Process.GetProcesses
lstProcesses.Items.Add(p)
