I have the arraylist which has some process names like "Notepad", "mspaint"
I want to check the values of above arraylist against the following :
Process[] Procs = Process.GetProcesses();
If the process "Notepad" is not there in Procs, then i want to use that value for further requirement.
How do i find the value of my arraylist which is missing in Procs ??
There are smarter answers, but i will post a naive one because its easier to understand
List<string> myprocs; // populated with process names
Process[] Procs = Process.GetProcesses();
foreach(Process proc in Procs)
{
if(myprocs.Contains(proc.ProcessName))
{
myprocs.Remove(proc.ProcessName);
}
}
// whatever that is left over in myprocs at this point is your remainder process names.
1) Go through the list one-by-one using ArrayList.Contains
2) If LINQ is available use the set difference: Except()
Or you could use the Except method provided by LINQ. But if you are using Arraylist instead of List<>, I guess you are using .NET 1.
