I need kill a process whose image name is "QLSX.vghost.exe". How should I do ? System.Diagnostics.Process[] prCess =System.Diagnostics.Process.GetProcesses(); for(int cPr=0; cPr { //kill the available processes prCess[cPr].Kill(); } this code above shows how to kill all processes. I 'm not sure I need to kill all. Help me how to kill a identified process ?

System.Diagnostics.Process[] prCess =System.Diagnostics.Process.GetProcessesByName("QLSX.vghost.exe"); prCess[0].Kill(); Simple :)

try this instead System.Diagnostics.Process[] p = System.Diagnostics.Process.GetProcessesByName("QLSX.vghost.exe"); for(int i=0 ; i

u can kill a single process by that name. sometimes however there are threads of the same process running parallely. so killing just a single process would not help. It is therefore preferable to have all the processes by a similar name killed together, so that there are no problems. if there is just a single process, then it will kill it anyways. So in my opinion, please use the code where a collection of the processes is returned by name and you kill them all using a for loop. i hope its clear.

Hello, + If there is no instance of the process running you will get an exception. So always check he lenght of the array! All the best, Martin

It's working well. Thanks for all you. I appreciate you so much. Tan.

ya. in that case. use a try catch (finally) block. U need not be concerned if the process is not present and thus can ignore.
