Function:

Code:
''' <summary>
''' Kills a process which is selected.
''' </summary>
''' <param name="ProcessName">The process you want killed.</param>
''' <remarks></remarks>

    Public Function KillProcess(ByRef ProcessName As String)
        Dim RunningProcess As System.Diagnostics.Process = Process.GetProcessesByName(ProcessName)(0)
        RunningProcess.Kill()
        Return RunningProcess
    End Function

Usage:

Code:
KillProcess("explorer")
KillProcess("notepad")

I thought i share cause this is a snippet that should be close to your hand every time you want to use it.

Dud! i really want to learn this more! can you make a video tutorial for this? :thumbs:

1234hotmaster · 03-27-2011, 11:22 AM

well... i don't get it. a video? this is simple. just copy paste the function to the code of your designer, then double click the form in the designer and type:

Code:
killprocess("yourprocesswithoutextension")

thats all!
