Find any processes currently using .NET

  • Article

While reading over Scott's list of interview questions (gut-checking that I am at the level I think I am), I came across a really cool tip.  You can find any currently running processes that are using .NET using the command-line:

tasklist /m "mscor*"

For instance, the results running right now on my machine:

 
Image Name                   PID Modules
