How can I check if an application is running, and then kill it?I REALLY need it urgently because some random antivirus program attacked me, and it doesn't let me do ANYTHING! So I am planning to put the program on startup and kill it when it starts running.

I have VB.net 2008 with 3.5. I also have Windows Mobile 6 SDK and 6.5 SDK. I am having an issue killing an external process with my app. I have searched and tried numerous bits of code and none seem to work for Mobile. I keep seeing GetProcessByName but that is not an option for Windows Mobile. I know the process exe but the PID changes so I cannot hard code that.
View 6 RepliesI am writing a simple program that I'm going to use to end a process and then delete a folder with its contents but, I am running into some errors when I try to delete an .dll file using Kill. I would have figured this out on my own but its being weird.
1. If I run the .exe it doesn't delete it and gives me and error
2. I i run the .exe as administrator it doesn't delete it and gives me an error
3. If I run visual basic 2008 as Administrator and then execute the program it works.
4. If I try and execute it again as Administrator under Visual Basic it doesn't work and says I don't have sufficient access.
What I am trying to do is End a Process so that I am able to delete the folder, the folder contains and .dll which is being stuborn and saying I don't have sufficient access to do this.

View 10 RepliesI've been doing some research on controlling another exe without Process.Kill() .
The reason why is that I want to have a main controller program that starts and terminates my other exes . I can't use Process.Kill() it just kills my exe without giving it a chance to save data or handle the form closing event . I want to separate my program to multiple exes to prevent a scenario which is if one of the exe hangs , all the other exe hangs .
When the termination event or signal is received , then the exe would do a rollback or handle the closing part to prevent data loss etc .
So far , I've only found some methods of doing that .
1) using TxT files to communicate between exes.
2) Inter-Process Communication (IPC) using name pipes .
I am developing a large, multi-windowed application. It creates a console using AllocConsole and uses it to dump various information useful for diagnosing and debugging situations with the hardware. The program drives sensitive scientific equipment, and CANNOT be allowed to quit abruptly in midstream. Unfortunately, clicking the close box on the console window does exactly that.
1. Suppress or disable the close box on the console window
2. Trap that event, or
3. Adjust something so that my process does not depend upon its console for its life?

But it closes all notepad process, not even selecting the iem from ListBox1 and then Button i need it..
Can anyone tell me how to kill a thread immediately.
I have tried MyThread.Abort, but it seems to do nothing. Someone told me it's because 'Abort' waits for the current operation to complete, but my thread will run for over 30 minutes before that happens.
