Scripting

Hi all,

I'm wondering how I can get the name of a process on a port. During our install I am calling the following code to see if a user entered port is open. If not, I want to get information on the process tied to the port because if let's say the name is a certain value, I'll allow the entry...

 

Dim hostname As String = "127.0.0.1" 
Dim port As Integer 
Dim ipa As IPAddress = DirectCast(Dns.GetHostAddresses(hostname)(0), IPAddress)  
Dim sock As New System.Net.Sockets.Socket(System.Net.Sockets.AddressFamily.InterNetwork, System.Net.Sockets.SocketType.Stream, System.Net.Sockets.ProtocolType.Tcp)    

'Port will have a value grabbed from the running installer (Session.Item)... 

sock.Connect(ipa, port) 

If sock.Connected = True Then

    'Connection in use...port not available 

    session.Item("PORT_VALID") = ""

End If

sock.Close()

As is, the code runs OK for me in that if the port is in use, there is notification. I would like to do a second check to see what process is running on the selected port. If is is the process that is intended for this port, I want to allow the entry even though it is in use.

Any help is Greatly appreciated!!
