I have a test app where I am using System.Diagnostics.PerformanceCounter.

In the VS.NET 2003 DESIGNER I choose:
CategoryName = 'Process'
CounterName = '% Processor Time'

I want to programmatically display a list to the user of "InstanceName"
values.

Is there anyway to get the "same" list of InstanceNames that are displayed
by the designer?

Thanks

I think I figured it out on my own

System.Diagnostics.PerformanceCounterCategory mycat = new
System.Diagnostics.PerformanceCounterCategory("Pro cess");

string[] instanceNames;
instanceNames = mycat.GetInstanceNames();

for (int i = 0; i < instanceNames.Length; i++)
{
textBox1.AppendText(instanceNames[i] + "\r\n");
}
