Re: kill a process

You can initiate a controlled shutdown by using Environment.Exi t() or
returning from the last foreground of the application. For an instant
shutdown, not recommended, you can use
System.Diagnost ics.Process.Get CurrentProcess( ).Kill().

Re: kill a process

You need to look at the Process and ProcessInfo classes.

Basically get a process object, usually by searching for the desired process
by name (you can see the names in the task list). Then, call Kill() on that
process instance. There are methods provided for attempting an orderly
shutdown too, if the task has an event loop running.
