Guys anyone know how to stop or close a running program remotely through a vb.net program? I am already aware on how to run or open one using the System.Diagnostics.Process.Start method. I would be needing it in my next project

Thanks

Yes. I am just wondering if it's possible

I would imagine Process.Kill or Process.Close and if that fails you can always shell out to kill.exe or (if you download the free SysInternals suite) pskill.exe.

There is no .Kill or .Close methods under Process,

Member Avatar for Pgmer

Are you associating the process by creating an instance to it? If yes you should be able to kill it.

Member Avatar for markdean.expres

Now I have the .kill method. I created an instance by;
Dim MyProcess as Process = New Process.

Member Avatar for Pgmer

Then kill the process which u want.. What is the problem now?

Member Avatar for markdean.expres

actually, it works now. However, I am still having a problem when I am changing the value of the MyProcess.StartInfo.Filename. The error says: no process is associated with this object

What could be the problem
