Is there a way to modify a process DACL in C#

Question

I have legacy C++ code that changes a process DACL and am trying to use the managed code classes in .NET 3.5. I found code on the web where someone created a SetAclOnServices class that extends the NativeObjectSecurity class for services. I thought that I could implement this and just change the ResourceType.Service to ResourceType.KernelObject but when I call GetAccessControl it fails with File Not Found error.

Merry Christmas.

public class ProcessSecurity : NativeObjectSecurity
{
    public ProcessSecurity(SafeHandle processHandle)
        : base(false, ResourceType.KernelObject, processHandle, AccessControlSections.Access)
    {

    }

    public void AddAccessRule(ProcessAccessRule rule)
    {
        base.AddAccessRule(rule);
    }

    // this is not a full impl- it only supports writing DACL changes
    public void SaveChanges(SafeHandle processHandle)
    {
        Persist(processHandle, AccessControlSections.Access);
    }

    public override Type AccessRightType
    {
        get { return typeof(ProcessAccessRights); }
    }

    public override AccessRule AccessRuleFactory(System.Security.Principal.IdentityReference identityReference, int accessMask, bool isInherited, InheritanceFlags inheritanceFlags, PropagationFlags propagationFlags, AccessControlType type)
    {
        return new ProcessAccessRule(identityReference, (ProcessAccessRights)accessMask, isInherited, inheritanceFlags, propagationFlags, type);
    }

    public override Type AccessRuleType
    {
        get { return typeof(ProcessAccessRule); }
    }

    public override AuditRule AuditRuleFactory(System.Security.Principal.IdentityReference identityReference, int accessMask, bool isInherited, InheritanceFlags inheritanceFlags, PropagationFlags propagationFlags, AuditFlags flags)
    {
        throw new NotImplementedException();
    }

    public override Type AuditRuleType
    {
        get { throw new NotImplementedException(); }
    }
}

public class ProcessAccessRule : AccessRule
{
    public ProcessAccessRule(IdentityReference identityReference, ProcessAccessRights accessMask, bool isInherited, InheritanceFlags inheritanceFlags, PropagationFlags propagationFlags, AccessControlType type)
        : base(identityReference, (int)accessMask, isInherited, inheritanceFlags, propagationFlags, type)
    {
    }

    public ProcessAccessRights ProcessAccessRights { get { return (ProcessAccessRights)AccessMask; } }
}
