Close A Running Program?
Jan 3, 2012
I would like to be able to close a running program (service) from another program.I know I can use...
Process.Start("C:XxxYyyProg.exe")
to start program: - Prog.exe
Located at: - C:XxxYyy.
But is there any way to also stop (close) Prog.exe from within another program ? The same one that started it for example...PS I should mention that in this case, Prog.exe is a third party program which I can't alter. It does have an Exit option from a right click.

I cannot get Excel 2010 to close by using VB on my Windows XP computer at work. I have what I thought would be able to close it, but it doesn't. I do not get any errors, it its just that after multiple times of the code running, I have multiple instances of EXCEL.EXE running in the task manager, which causes problems. I am going to post the code below:
Option Strict Off
Imports Excel = Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel
Public Class CompareDataExcel\

I have developed a VB.Net code for retrieving data from excel file .I load this data in one form and update it back in excel after making necessary modifications in data. This complete flow works fine but most of the times I have observed that even if I close the form; the already loaded excel process does not get closed properly. I tried all possible ways to close it but could not be able to resolve the issue.
Find below code which I am using for connecting to excel and let me know if any other approach I may need to follow to resolve this issue. Note: I do not want to kill the excel process as it will kill other instances of the excel

If e.CommandLine.Count > 0 Then
Dim IncomingCommand As String = e.CommandLine.Item(0).ToString
If IncomingCommand.Substring(0, 2) = "-1" Then
form1.close()
End If
End If
I am trying to make the program close if the -1 string is sent with the program. See my installer allows for me to run certain programs before it actually installs, but it doesn't shut down copies of the program itself. So I have a next startup instance set to shut the program down if the -1 is received. But if the program is not running it starts up instead. This is not desired. form1.close doesn't work. e.cancel = true doesn't work, etc etc. What can I do to make the program not start during this instance.

I wrote this VB program to be able to throw a device we developed into programming mode where we use an ATMEL Flip installer to upload new firmware. I can program one device after another running the application off of Visual Studio Express 2010 or Visual Studio 2010, but when I go to publish this file and run it on another machine, it becomes unstable and crashes after each upload. On those same computers if I run the raw unpackaged program under Visual Studio Express, the system does not crash, and I can program devices repeatedly.

I'm currently in the process of building a text editor type program, and have run into a brick wall. I haven't done VB in years, so I may just need a little reminder on some things. I have coded everything so far as far as opening files, saving them, changing fonts, colors, etc. However, I'm looking to add a Close button to my menu strip that will just close the currently opened file, and not the entire program, while also ask the user if he/she would like to save before closing the file, and then if they select yes, it will show the save dialog, and if not, it will go ahead and close the currently opened item.

I am creating an updater for my program that runs in a separate process. I need it to be able to close the program it's updating before running the new setup, but I do not want to use Process.Kill() because that could cause data loss. How can I safely close another application, as if the user had clicked the "X"?

I have a form with a listbox. I have controls on the form that can add items to the listbox with the click of a button. I already have the save file, open file dialogs working properly but I want to add something else that works with them. Lets say I open a file and the listbox adds all the strings from the file. Now, lets say I add something to the listbox and instead of saving the file, I just close the whole form. How do I make my program ask if i want to save the changes to the file when it is about to be closed? (I only want it to ask that IF there are changes to the file).

I don't know if this is possible I want my program to execute certain code before it will close even when the x is pressed is that possible. Because its leaving streamreaders open.
Timer1
Open sreamreader etc
So the timer is set to 100ms to constantly update the data waht happens is its leaving it open when someone closes it during its cycle.

I would like for my program to pause for about 3-5 seconds and then close/exit after pausing. I've used the my.application.doevents() and threading.thead.sleep as well, which may work, but when I add close() after the pause it just closes.

Private _systemShutdown As Boolean = False

So I obviously dont want my users to close the program but I want to be able to close it myself , I know how to password protect it but all I need is a code for a button to enable the close button.
