How to stop an application/program or close it

[markdean.expres]

Guys anyone know how to stop or close a running program remotely through a vb.net program? I am already aware on how to run or open one using the System.Diagnostics.Process.Start method. I would be needing it in my next project

Thanks

U want to stop the application which u ran using the process.start?

[markdean.expres]

Yes. I am just wondering if it's possible

I would imagine Process.Kill or Process.Close and if that fails you can always shell out to kill.exe or (if you download the free SysInternals suite) pskill.exe.

[markdean.expres]

There is no .Kill or .Close methods under Process,

[Pgmer]

Are you associating the process by creating an instance to it? If yes you should be able to kill it.

[markdean.expres]

Now I have the .kill method. I created an instance by;
Dim MyProcess as Process = New Process.

[Pgmer]

Then kill the process which u want.. What is the problem now?

[markdean.expres]

actually, it works now. However, I am still having a problem when I am changing the value of the MyProcess.StartInfo.Filename. The error says: no process is associated with this object

What could be the problem
