How to kill a process and a specific handle of process in C#

[Mushtaque Nizamani]

Hi, Is there any way to kill a process and to close only a handle of a process(not complete process).

[Christian Graus]

A handle is representative of an object, how would you close a handle, but not the object it represents ?

your are right, but the Process Explorer(Sys Internal) supports to close the handle too, i wonder how did the Process Explorer team achieve that task. I am sorry if have done some english grammatical mistakes. Regards, Mushq

Hello, Killing a process is possible over the System.Diagnostics.Process class. (method kill) To get the process you could use GetProcessByName method.

Thanx, I have got the answer of my first part of question that how to kill a process, and about handle, for that i am taking particular example of Explorer.exe process, I have created Test folder in C dervice, and Test Folder in D Derive, and i have opened both of them simultaneously, Explorer.exe process has got handle of both these opened folder, when i search C:\Test in process explorer(Sys Internals), then it shows me that explorer.exe has loaded the handle C:\Test Folder. I am sorry if have done some english grammatical or spelling mistakes. Regards, Mushq

There is a utility called 'TaskManager Extension' in CodeProject. I think that should be able to address your requirement. Since the code is also there, you should be able to follow this requirement soon. Check out http://www.codeproject.com/system/Task_Manager_Extension.asp[^]
