C# Signature:
[DllImport("Kernel32.dll", SetLastError = true, ExactSpelling = true)]
[return: MarshalAs(UnmanagedType.Bool)]
static extern bool CheckRemoteDebuggerPresent(SafeHandle hProcess, [MarshalAs(UnmanagedType.Bool)]ref bool isDebuggerPresent);
VB Signature:
Declare Function CheckRemoteDebuggerPresent Lib "kernel32.dll"
(ByVal hProcess As Long, ByVal fResult As Boolean) As Boolean
Return Value:
If the function succeeds, the return value is nonzero. If the function fails, the return value is zero. To get extended error information, call GetLastError.
Notes:
Checks for RemoteDebugger on the 'hProcess'. The "remote" in CheckRemoteDebuggerPresent does not imply that the debugger necessarily resides on a different computer; instead, it indicates that the debugger resides in a separate and parallel process. Use the IsDebuggerPresent function to detect whether the calling process is running under the debugger.
You may need to have the SE_DEBUG_NAME privilege on the specified process or you will receive ERROR_ACCESS_DENIED (0x5)
