I am trying to obtain the CPU Time like that shown by Task Manager programmatically.
The only related counter I found was the "%Processor Time" under the Process object.
Is there a way to convert the value into a "CPU Time".

According to Task Manager help. "CPU Time" column is the total processor time used by the process since it started.
