Stopping Process

Hi EveryBody:

As you know we can start process by using:

System.dignostics.process.start("ProcessName")

But my question is How can I stop running process ?

Any help will be appreciated

Try this:

' Import
Imports System.Diagnostics

Dim p As Process

Dim pr As Process

pr = p.Start("Notepad")

MessageBox.Show("Notepad Started")

If Not (pr Is Nothing) Then

pr.Kill()

End If
