Hence, could i just write, such as, 

process.BasePriority.Equals("BelowNormal");

?

Answer 3

 

Hello,

       As we could see in the MSDN Library article Srinivasan suggested, Process.BasePriority is an integer property, also it is read-only.   To set the process priority to BelowNormal, we could use such a line of code:  myProcess.PriorityClass = ProcessPriorityClass.BelowNormal;

       Also, if we want to check whether the process’s priority is BelowNormal, we could use these codes:

if (myProcess.PriorityClass.Equals(ProcessPriorityClass.BelowNormal))

{    

}

 

Or

 

if (myProcess.PriorityClass.ToString().Equals("BelowNormal"))

{

}

 

Or

 

if (myProcess.BasePriority == 6)

{

}

      

       Thanks,

Best Regards,
