Shell Question

Hi,

I am creating an update application that is called by multiple applications
to verify the application version and if it is out of date then it will
update that application. The problem I am running in to is getting the
instance of the application that called the update application and closing
it when I need to udpate it. Any ideas?

Thanks

Nevermind I figured it out. You have to use:

Process.GetProcessesByName("App")

Thanks
