I am looking for some code that will end the processes of a running program. I have found many post on how to do so but I have found that they are over complicating things. I am using this code to see if a processes is running.

Dim ProcessRuning() As Process
ProcessRuning = Process.GetProcessesByName("example")
Do While ProcessRuning.Length <> 0

it works. it gets process names (but without extentions) what i want to do now is to get the image path of each process. i think i will have to use a different control probably data grid view. can somebody tell me how to add items to datagridview instead of listbox? and how to get each process image path( to data grid view)?
I have a program that instantiates Excel, programatically updates it, and then closes it. In some cases, when I look in the task manager/processes, I can still see 1 or more copies of Excel running.
1) Is there a way I can, after creating an object reference to Excel, identify the PID or some other unique identification?
2) Using that, is there a way, after I think I have told Excel to go away, to see if the PID (or whatever) is still active?
3) Given that I have a PID, can I get a new object reference and try to tell it to go away nicely
4) If it still won't go away, can I force an end process of the task?
5) Is there a library or routine available that will return the active processes so I can search to see if there are any copies of Excel still running?
6) using the approach in 5, can I also find out if the item associated with the PID is running just as a process and not as an application?
I want to be able to cycle through the active processes on the system and find when my program starts? It has the name 'Calculate Distance' as the form1.vb text. There fore, I want to be able to close a splash screen when the form1 loads. This requires checking currently running processes. How do I do that in VB.NET 2005?

View 2 RepliesI have rently deployed a VB windows application. It uses ADO typed datasets and datagrids.

I want to know what company the process belongs to, like the status bar in windows explorer shows the executable info: "Description: Windows Explorer", Company: Microsoft Corporation" and so on. Is it possible?
I have created a program that when a user registers, it sends an email to that user, and three of my email addresses. The problem is that while it is sending, the window is un-usable and "does not respond" and the icon changes to the white box thing when you click on it. is there a way that i can run this process behind the program, so the window is still usable, but it still sends the emails?
View 1 RepliesI have a sub-procedure which I want to run a different process, depending on what is currently running. I thought the easiest way to do this was by using an ArrayList of each of the campaign details & adding an 'Inuse' field to check to see if the Inuse field is set to 0 or 1. The problem that I have is that when running the process it is all happening at once & the integer hasn't been changed before the next thread kicks in so my threads are running the same campaigns. I tried to avoid the problem by adding a Thread.Sleep(100) delay inbetween starting threads but this led to exactly the same problem.
Here's an example of what I am trying to do:
Imports System.Threading
Public Class Form1
Private Campaigns As New ArrayList
Private ProcessRunning As Boolean = False
Friend StopProcess As Boolean = False

I have made a program that has an intro screen, moving onto an activity select screen which acts as the main interface to get around the program. After creating the program and installing it on my computer, when I close the program from the activity select screen, using the "X" at the top right corner, the program continues to run under "processes" in the task manager.If I close the program from the intro screen though, it will close everything, including the processes. Is there anyway I can get the same to happen with the game select screen? I can make it work by putting my own "End" button on the form, but id prefer to be able to do it with forms own close button.
View 5 Replieshere is what I'm trying to do (partly in pseudo code):
Public Sub KillProcess(ByRef strProcessToKill As String)
Dim proc() As Process = Process.GetProcesses
For i As Integer = 0 To proc.GetUpperBound(0)
If proc(i).ProcessName = strProcessToKill Then
proc(i).Kill()
End If

The killprocess part works fine. However, if I try a "For Each App As Process In Process.GetProcessesByName("chrome"") approach and have several chrome windows open then it will display the question 5 times if there are 5 chrome processes open.
When I close my program, it stays in Processes? Is there any way I can make sure it does not?

View 1 RepliesI 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.
