  PerformanceCounter theCPUCounter = new PerformanceCounter("Processor", "% Processor Time", "_Total");

  Console.WriteLine(theCPUCounter.NextValue().ToString());

  you can use the performance counters to do this...

  did you see and use the code exactly Remember, there may not be CPU activity causing it to remain at 0. you also need to place it on a timer and keep it running every second for example to see the status.

  drag a label on the form

  drag a button on the form

  drag a timer on the form.

  set the timer interval to 1000. Enable it also

  go into code view

   

  scroll up to enter global decleration (after public class....):

   

  PerformanceCounter theCPUCounter = new PerformanceCounter("Processor", "% Processor Time", "_Total");

   

  double click button. Type:

  if (this.theCPUCounter == null)

  {

     this.theCPUCounter = new PerformanceCounter("Processor", "% Processor Time", "_Total");

  }

  this.timer1.Start();

   

   

  go back to form view

  double click timer to make a tick event

  then type in here:

   

  this.Label1.Text = this.theCPUCounter.NextValue().ToString();

   

  run the application and press the button to start the timer/process

  thanks
