Hello everyone, I just started learning C# about 3 days ago and I need you help! I have a very simple question that I'm sure you all know the answer to it and here it is. How do I make a button that would kill/end a process? Btw, I already know how to make a button, I just need help on how to make the button kill/end a process. Thank you all in advanced.

No worries

Here's a snippet showing how to kill a process. Then you just need to call it in the buttons click event

[SexSquirrel]

Alright, thanks I'll try that.

[SexSquirrel]

I have put the code into my program but when I try debugging it, it says that I have build errors.. If I post my code here can someone correct my mistakes? I can't post it now because I'm on my psp..

[SexSquirrel]

Here is my code hopefully someone can correct my mistake.

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.ComponentModel;
using System.Data;
using System.Drawing;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.Windows.Forms;

namespace My_First_Program
{
	public partial class Notepad1 : Form
	{
		public Notepad1()
		{
			InitializeComponent();
		}

		private void Button_Click_Event2_Close(object sender, EventArgs e)
		{

		}

		private void Button_Click_Event_1_Start(object sender, EventArgs e)
		{
			public bool FindAndKillProcess(string name)
			{
				foreach (Process clsProcess in Process.GetProcesses()) {
			{
				if (clsProcess.ProcessName.StartsWith(notepad))
				{
					clsProcess.Kill(notepad);
					return true;
				}
			}
			return false;
		}
	}
}

Are you receiving any errors? Does this code not work that way you intended it? When asking for help there are a couple items that are vital in order for someone to properly help you:

• Post the code you're having problems with
  
• Post the exact error you're receiving, if you are receiving one
  
• If no error explain what the code is doing versus what you want it to do
  
• Post your question in the body of your post, not the description field

[JackOfAllTrades]

if (clsProcess.ProcessName.StartsWith(notepad))
{
    clsProcess.Kill(notepad);
    return true;
}

Do you maybe mean "notepad"? Or do you have a string variable named notepad?

[SexSquirrel]

Yeah I do have an error, when I try debugging, a message comes up saying I have "Build errors"

[JackOfAllTrades]

Now, put on your thinking cap...

Ready?

OK...

How are we supposed to know what your errors are????

Don't you think that might be useful information to provide???

[RudiVisser]

Look closely:

private void Button_Click_Event_1_Start(object sender, EventArgs e)
		{
			public bool FindAndKillProcess(string name)
			{
				foreach (Process clsProcess in Process.GetProcesses()) {
			{
				if (clsProcess.ProcessName.StartsWith(notepad))
				{
					clsProcess.Kill(notepad);
					return true;
				}
			}
			return false;
		}

You've got a function within a function.

Also, notepad isn't defined as a variable, so, like JackOfAllTrades stated, you intended for it to be a string.

I would heavily consider that, before even thinking about writing applications - You take a look at the very basics of C#. If you can cope with me and my runny nose + video tutorials, mine should cover the basics.. Starting here: http://www.youtube.c...h?v=nkbmvkBo6zA

[SexSquirrel]

Sounds good..I'll take a look. Oh and sorry for my noobish questions..(I just started less than a week ago and considering that, I guess I shouldn't be trying to write applications)
