Does anything like a parent process exist?

dotnet distributed apps:

Suppose there are executable files A, B and C.
when A is started, it attempts to run B and B also runs C.
Can I ask Windows to tell me who started C? What if executables A and B are
closed, but C is running. In this case, can I know who started C?

If possible, please provide a .NET example (VB or C#)

Hi,

I suppose the System.Diagnostics.Process class is not quite equipped to give
you this information. You need to use PInvoke to call the
NtQueryInformationProcess Win32 API to get this infomation
For more info, you may want to look into this NG post:
