C# Process Killing

I need to write a program in c# that would just start, kill one process\exe that it is supposed to kill and end itself.

The process I need to kill is another C# application so it is a local user process and I know the path to the exe.

回答1:

First search all processes for the process you want to kill, than kill it.

Process[] runningProcesses = Process.GetProcesses();
foreach (Process process in runningProcesses)
{
    // now check the modules of the process
    foreach (ProcessModule module in process.Modules)
    {
        if (module.FileName.Equals("MyProcess.exe"))
        {
            process.Kill();
        }
    }
}

回答2:

Check out Process.GetProcessesByName and Process.Kill

// Get all instances of Notepad running on the local
// computer.
Process [] localByName = Process.GetProcessesByName("notepad");
foreach(Process p in localByName)
{
   p.Kill();
}

Killing processes by their name can be easily done in C# (as the other answers already showed perfectly). If you however want to kill processes based on the full path of the executable things get more tricky. One way to do that would be to use WMI, another way would be to use the Module32First Windows API function.

The sample below uses the latter approach. It first selects a subset of the running processes by their name and then queries each of these processes for their full executable path. Note that this path will be the actual path of the image being executed, which is not necessarily the executable that was launched (e.g. on x64 systems the actual path to calc.exe will be C:\Windows\SysWOW64\calc.exe even if the file C:\Windows\system32\calc.exe was started). All processes with a matching path are returned by GetProcessesByPath:

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Diagnostics;
using System.IO;
using System.Runtime.ConstrainedExecution;
using System.Runtime.InteropServices;
using Microsoft.Win32.SafeHandles;

class Program
{
    static void Main(string[] args)
    {
        Process[] processList = GetProcessesByPath(@"C:\Program Files\MyCalculator\calc.exe");
        foreach (var process in processList)
        {
            if (!process.HasExited)
                process.Kill();
        }
    }

    static Process[] GetProcessesByPath(string path)
    {
        List<Process> result = new List<Process>();

        string processName = Path.GetFileNameWithoutExtension(path);
        foreach (var process in Process.GetProcessesByName(processName))
        {
            ToolHelpHandle hModuleSnap = NativeMethods.CreateToolhelp32Snapshot(NativeMethods.SnapshotFlags.Module, (uint)process.Id);
            if (!hModuleSnap.IsInvalid)
            {
                NativeMethods.MODULEENTRY32 me32 = new NativeMethods.MODULEENTRY32();
                me32.dwSize = (uint)System.Runtime.InteropServices.Marshal.SizeOf(me32);
                if (NativeMethods.Module32First(hModuleSnap, ref me32))
                {
                    if (me32.szExePath == path)
                    {
                        result.Add(process);
                    }
                }
                hModuleSnap.Close();

Some of the code is based on an article by Jason Zander which can be found here.

回答4:

you can call the Process.Kill method

you can use the Process.GetProcesses to get all processes or Process.GetProcessByName or Process.GetProcessById so you can get the process to call Kill on.

回答5:

Process[] processes = Process.GetProcesses();
foreach (Process pr in processes){ 
  if (pr.ProcessName=="vfp")
    if (pr.MainWindowTitle.Contains("test"))
      pr.CloseMainWindow();
}`enter code here`

Here vfp is process name. and test is setup title name.

回答6:

You can achieve it by using Process Class class but why would you want to kill another process?

回答7:

Process class has Kill() method

回答8:

I wanted to define my own list of applications to close so I made this based on some of the examples I've seen listed. It's simple and effective.

        string[] Process_name_list = {"chrome","notepad"};
        foreach (string Process_name in Process_name_list)
        {
            foreach (var process in Process.GetProcessesByName(Process_name))
            {                    
                process.Kill();
            }
        }
