C# Process Killing

Question

I need to write a program in c# that would just start, kill one process\exe that it is supposed to kill and end itself.

The process I need to kill is another C# application so it is a local user process and I know the path to the exe.

Answer 1

Check out Process.GetProcessesByName and Process.Kill

// Get all instances of Notepad running on the local
// computer.
Process [] localByName = Process.GetProcessesByName("notepad");
foreach(Process p in localByName)
{
   p.Kill();
}

Answer 2

First search all processes for the process you want to kill, than kill it.

Process[] runningProcesses = Process.GetProcesses();
foreach (Process process in runningProcesses)
{
    // now check the modules of the process
    foreach (ProcessModule module in process.Modules)
    {
        if (module.FileName.Equals("MyProcess.exe"))
        {
            process.Kill();
        }
    }
}
