kill process

Hi ,

You should know exact process name / ID / main window name for this
to work ..

import the namespace first ...

imports System.Diagnostics.Process

then use following code ...

1) Method one Killing process if you know process name

For Each p In Process.GetProcesses()
if p.ProcessName = "your process name here" Then
p.kill()
End if
Next

2 ) Method two Killing process if you know process ID

For Each p In Process.GetProcesses()
if p.ID = "process id here" Then
p.kill()
End if
Next

3 ) Method three Killing process if you know process main window
title

For Each p In Process.GetProcesses()
if p.MainWindowTitle = "process main window name here" Then
p.kill()
End if
Next

Thanks,

write error handling code after the for loop ..
