I think the process namepsace lets you access only those
processes that you application has started.
If you need to access all the active processes in your
system, then you will have to use WMI through C# code. You
can talk to WMI using System.Manageme nt namespace.
WMI gives you api to list processes, abort, kill, etc.

thanks~
i have read through the MSDN...I have tried it...but still don't know how to
do this...
can you give me some reference? (may be a link / sample codes)
many thanks

Not only processes your application starts, it can handle all processes in
the system. As long as you can get the process by name or id, you can kill
it by Process.Kill().

Try the following:
Public Sub EnumerateProces ses()
Dim WindowsProcess As Process
Dim ProcessToKill As String = "AcroRd32"
For Each WindowsProcess In Process.GetProc esses
Debug.WriteLine (WindowsProcess .ProcessName)
If WindowsProcess. ProcessName = ProcessToKill Then
WindowsProcess. Kill()
End If
Next
End Sub

My application starts up a number of processes for various purposes using:

Everything works fine on MacOSX. However, I'm doing a port to Solaris (so I

Hi All,
I am writing a tool, which should monitor some exe-processes, which are not
very solid. Th main function is to re-start them, if they hung, but this is
complicated. I can detect things like no longer generating IO or such
properties and I use WMI to do that. I am also looking for attached
subprocesses, which are one of the system debuggers.
I wrote a test-program, which creates a divide by zero error after some
seconds. I can...

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
