hi guys, i need to know if a process that im monitoring has exited.. im using c#, and a noob in using the Process class. for example, im monitoring MS word, i can tell if it starts but i can't catch the event, the moment it terminates... help pls..

hi guys, how can i get the window name of a program (e.g. MS Word) programatically? im using c#, and im using this in my program that ends/terminates an application based on data returned by some queries from a database. i have no problems if i start a fresh instance of MS Word since i can have the window name hardcoded in my program (the default window name is "Document1 - Microsoft Word"), thus i can still close that application using my code. the problem is that when i open an existing file (thus the window name is dependent on the filename specified by the user), now when this happens, i cannot close the application since i cant get the window name dynamically. pls help.. tnx :)
