Sample Code:

   const int QueryLimitedInformation = 0x1000;
   const int ERROR_INSUFFICIENT_BUFFER = 0x7a;
   const int ERROR_SUCCESS = 0x0;

   [DllImport("kernel32.dll")]
   internal static extern IntPtr OpenProcess(int dwDesiredAccess, bool bInheritHandle, int dwProcessId);

   [DllImport("kernel32.dll")]
   static extern bool CloseHandle(IntPtr hHandle);

   if (sProcessName.ToLower().Contains("wwahost")
        && ((Environment.OSVersion.Version.Major == 6) && (Environment.OSVersion.Version.Minor > 1)))
        {
        IntPtr ptrProcess = OpenProcess(QueryLimitedInformation, false, iPID);
        if (IntPtr.Zero != ptrProcess)
        {
            uint cchLen = 130;
            uint cchLen = 128;
            StringBuilder sbName = new StringBuilder((int)cchLen);
            Int32 lResult = GetApplicationUserModelId(ptrProcess, ref cchLen, sbName);
            long lResult = GetApplicationUserModelId(ptrProcess, ref cchLen, sbName);
            if (ERROR_SUCCESS == lResult)
            {
            sResult = sbName.ToString();
            }
            else if (ERROR_INSUFFICIENT_BUFFER == lResult)
            {
            sbName = new StringBuilder((int)cchLen);
            if (ERROR_SUCCESS == GetApplicationUserModelId(ptrProcess, ref cchLen, sbName))
            {
                sResult = sbName.ToString();
            }
            }
            CloseHandle(ptrProcess);
