Invoke Code (C#) UiPath.Core limitations

[Tiramisu]

I want to execute a series of methods in C#, but the compiler tells me something is non-invocable. What is going on?

Invoke code: No compiled code to run
error CS1955: Non-invocable member ‘GetProcesses’ cannot be used like a method. At line 1

var processes = UiPath.Core.Activities.GetProcesses();
foreach (var process in processes) {
	Console.WriteLine(process);
}

Edit for clarification: Can I distinguish between methods and non-invokable activities in the UiPath namespace?

Hey @Tiramisu

Get Processes is not a method meaning you can’t do it like how you are doing it in the code.

Instead you can try this - Process.GetProcesses Method (System.Diagnostics) | Microsoft Learn

Thanks @Nithinkrishna. Is there anything beneath the UiPath namespaces that I can call as a method? Or can I only use the normal System.[…].

Assign activity:

arrProcesses = Process.GetProcesses()

Namespace: System.Diagnostics just add it to the imports

Process.GetProcesses Method (System.Diagnostics)

Thanks for the addition peter. I understand that I cannot use UiPath.Core.Activities.GetProcesses
as a method. Is the entire namespace out of the question?

@Tiramisu

s the entire namespace out of the question?

may we ask you to reformulate the question as it is unclear to us, what you asked. Thanks

@Tiramisu

Can I distinguish between methods and non-invokable activities in the UiPath namespace?

the usage of an activity within an invoke code would be different ( But for your case we suggest the Process.GetProcesses or Process.GetProcessesByName(…) )

intelisense gives us some details if class is offering a property / method

for code statements from the .Net / VB.Net base we can refer to intelisense or the Microsoft docs docu

[Tiramisu]

Alright. I will use IntelliSense to probe for methods.

Thanks!
PS: I think it is clear by now, that .NET is not my primary development platform.
