I am working on a web project where content security is client's first priority. I need to create a windows app which will track if the user while visiting the website, is running any screen recorder. If he is, I need to log him out. I have knowledge on c#, vb.net. Can you please tell me if it is possible to track if screen recorder is running on user's computer?

It might cost colossal resources to implement such solution (that will have holes and must be maintained). Monitoring web site by means of a desktop app sounds like a dirty insecure hack. What if the user has a mobile phone with the camera?
Better, you shall rely upon standard widely accepted security principles of HTTP/TSL, such as proper authentication, authorisation, security policies, encryption, strong passwords etc.

You seriously want to prevent access to a web-site being recorded?
The simple answer is no, you can't tell. However, MS does offer some content protection APIs that might be more what you need, IF you are rendering to a DirectX 11 surface:
Direct 3D Video APIs on MSDN has more info.
