Re: How to kill a particular process forcibly

hi,be more specific you want to kill the process through a vb program..
or you just want to kill process in any way..you can use task manager to end a program..
or you can go command prompt use tasklist and tskill to end a program..
or if you want to do it in vb check out System.Diagnostics.Process

Sure, If you are using .NET.... not gonna work in vb 4/5/6. I can get you the code to kill a process from within VB6, but figuring out how to know if it's the one you want to kill or not is a different story altogether. I suppose you could kill all copies of java, and then just open the one you want ?

Re: How to kill a particular process forcibly

In the above link, i didn't see killing a particular process(when some more same processes are running). Can somebody give me code using System.Diagnostics.Process. I think we can a kill process by checking for which application a particular process is running.

Re: How to kill a particular process forcibly

I'll say it again......

you're in the VB 4/5/6 forum. System.Diagnostics.Process is for VB.NET, NOT VB 4/5/6. If you want answers about it, then ask there. Not Here.

Re: How to kill a particular process forcibly

use
System.Diagnostics.Process.GetProcessesByName(processName);
to get all the process with this name. After this use the process properties like, process.ModuleName etc. to get the required process, then kill the process by calling function process.kill().

This section just for vb4/5/6. Don't make it become VB.Net Section...
