Newbie: Kill App

[SMB]

Hi,
I am a newbie.
I am doing a VB.net app to kill notepad.exe
But it is not working.
Can anyone help ?

Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As
System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click

Dim myProcesses() As Process

'myProcesses = System.Diagnostics.Process("notepad.exe")

myProcess.Kill()

End

Herfried,

In my opinion does this kill all open notepad applications.

(Just because you tell always what is wrong with the by me used simple
solution with the mutex and a single instance).

Cor,

I think that's what the OP wants to archieve.

Herfried,

How comes that, I have often more textboxes open to past, I would not like
it when those all where automaticly closed in the middle by an application.

Both of us do not know the exact scenario.

Imports System.Diagnostics

I did that and it does not kill notepad.exe
[...]
Dim Processes() As Process = Process.GetProcessesByName("note")

The process name is "notepad.exe", not "note".
