Description

@MichalPetryka

Description

Accessing MainModule after process exit throws an exception that doesn't match the documentation. The code should either be changed to detect that case or the docs should be changed.

Reproduction Steps

using Process process = Process.GetProcessById(someId);
_ = process.Handle;
process.WaitForExit();
Console.WriteLine(process.ExitCode);
Console.WriteLine(process.MainModule?.FileName ?? "null");

Expected behavior

Throws InvalidOperationException as per docs.

Actual behavior

Throws:

Unhandled exception. System.ComponentModel.Win32Exception (299): Only part of a ReadProcessMemory or WriteProcessMemory request was completed.
   at System.Diagnostics.NtProcessManager.EnumProcessModulesUntilSuccess(SafeProcessHandle, IntPtr[], Int32, Int32&, Int32) + 0x91
   at System.Diagnostics.NtProcessManager.GetModules(Int32, Boolean) + 0x110
   at System.Diagnostics.NtProcessManager.GetFirstModule(Int32) + 0xf
