How/ could you rewrite this as Linq?

Question

I'm doing this and was just wondering as I'm new to all of this if Linq could be used to rewrite this?

private void checkacrobat()
{
    Process[] prs = Process.GetProcesses();
    foreach(Process pr in prs)
    {
         if(pr.ProcessName == "****ProcessName")
              pr.Kill();
    }
}

Answer 1

foreach(var process in Process.GetProcesses().Where(p=>p.ProcessName==whatever))
    process.Kill();

Remember, use statements for actions like killing a process. Use LINQ for queries, that read values without changing them.

But your code is perfectly readable as it is. I wouldn't change it without a good reason.

Answer 2

In method syntax:

var processesToBeKilled = Process.GetProcesses()
                                 .Where(pr => pr.ProcessName == "****ProcessName");

foreach(var process in processesToBeKilled)
   process.Kill();

In query syntax:

var processesToBeKilled = from pr in Process.GetProcesses()
                          where pr.ProcessName == "****ProcessName"
                          select pr;

foreach(var process in processesToBeKilled)
   process.Kill();

Purpose-built method:

There's really no need for LINQ here; there's already the handy Process.GetProcessesByName method:

var processesToBeKilled = Process.GetProcessesByName("****ProcessName");

foreach(var process in processesToBeKilled)
   process.Kill();
