How to get process ID and deal with it using c#?

Question

If one file is used by other process and you are trying to manipulate with it...it gives an error:-

The process cannot access the file 'abc.txt' because it is being used by another process.

In C#, How can i come to know that 'abc.txt' file is used by the process Name "XYZ.exe" (or any other process)?

What do you plan to do once you figure out what process is accessing it? — Anon., Feb 09 '10 at 20:41
My scheduled console application runs after every set of time. If, somehow the file 'abc.txt' is in use by other process (in this case XYZ.exe), i will stop the execution of my application and wait for next call. — Jango, Feb 09 '10 at 20:46
Why do you need to know which process is accessing it? Just try to open the file for exclusive access, and if it fails, exit. — Anon., Feb 09 '10 at 20:56
