process id

[Guest]

I know the name of a program, program1, that's running. In a second program
how do I use this name to determine the id of the process for program1?

Take a look at System.Diagnostics.Process.GetProcessesByName()
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.diagnostics.process.getprocessesbyname.aspx
It will return you an array (as there could be more than one instance of a
given named process running).
