ProcessThread and Thread

Question

Can anybody tell me how can I to get the thread object if I have a processthread object or if I have its ID? Thank you in advance

I should have looked at the documentation. I think the reason you get ProcessThread is because those could be threads of application that is not .net application. I'm not 100% sure, but I think thread cultures are specific to .net threads. I don't know how else you can get Thread objects from other processes. It might be that because of security restrictions it's not possible.

Ok, thank you Werdna... I have tried the code you gave me but the problem with it is that elements in Process.Threads are not Thread Objects, they are ProcessThread Objects and them have a different structure... I need Thread Object to change its CurrentCulture property, ProcessThread object does not implement that property.

Try this: Process localById = Process.GetProcessById(1234); foreach (Thread thread in localById.Threads) { // do whatever you need with the thread }

Oops ... I thought you need the Process object. Let me think about it ;)

Thank you chand, I have the thread id but the problem is that I need to get the thread object (not process object) using that id. Thats because I need to verify and change the culture information of each thread running in a specific process.

Use Process.GetProcessById method. Sample: // Get all instances of Notepad running on the local // computer. Process [] localByName = Process.GetProcessesByName("notepad"); // Get all instances of Notepad running on the specifiec // computer. // 1. Using the computer alias (do not precede with "\"). Process [] remoteByName = Process.GetProcessesByName("notepad", "myComputer"); // 2. Using an IP address to specify the machineName parameter. Process [] ipByName = Process.GetProcessesByName("notepad", "169.0.0.0"); // Get all processes running on the local computer. Process [] localAll = Process.GetProcesses(); // Get all processes running on the remote computer. Process [] remoteAll = Process.GetProcesses("myComputer"); // Get a process on the local computer, using the process id. Process localById = Process.GetProcessById(1234); // Get a process on a remote computer, using the process id. Process remoteById = Process.GetProcessById(2345, "myComputer");
