How to call CreateProcess() with STARTUPINFOEX from C# and re-parent the child

问题

I need to create a new process but so that it is a "child" of another process not the current process eg re-parent the new process.

The following have got me almost there .NET : How to call CreateProcessAsUser() with STARTUPINFOEX from C# and .NET : How to PInvoke UpdateProcThreadAttribute and http://winprogger.com/launching-a-non-child-process/

using System;

    [DllImport("kernel32.dll", SetLastError = true)]

ProcessCreator.CreateProcess(0) starts Notepad as a child of current process which is the default behaviour. So far so good.

If the value passed in is non 0 the code attempts to start Notepad as a child of the process whose process ID matches the input value (I am assuming that process exists for now).

Unfortunately that part does not work and throws the following exception:

FatalExecutionEngineError was detected Message: The runtime has encountered a fatal error. The address of the error was at 0x69a2c7ad, on thread 0x1de0. The error code is 0xc0000005. This error may be a bug in the CLR or in the unsafe or non-verifiable portions of user code. Common sources of this bug include user marshaling errors for COM-interop or PInvoke, which may corrupt the stack.

Any pointers much appreciated.

回答1:

There are two issues with your code. First, the lpAttributeList parameter of the InitializeProcThreadAttributeList and UpdateProcThreadAttribute functions must be typed as IntPtr with no out modifier. Second, the lpValue parameter of the UpdateProcThreadAttribute function must be a pointer to the attribute value (in your case, parentHandle), not the value itself. Below is the fixed code.
