// To get NOTEPAD.EXE processes
var processes = Process.GetProcessesByName("notepad");
foreach (var process in processes)
{
    Console.WriteLine("PID={0}", process.Id);
    Console.WriteLine("Process Handle={0}", process.Handle);                
}

Code taken from here.

That returns an array.. because you could have 1, 4, 5 or 10 notepads open at the same time.

So, you could list them like this:

var processes = Process.GetProcessesByName("notepad");
foreach(var p in processes)
{
    Console.WriteLine($"Notepad process found with ID: {p.Id}");
}
