Sam Hobbs · Answer

The Process.Kill Method documentatin says  Kill causes an abnormal process termination and should be used only when necessary. . It should not be used as a normal design solution. It is very easy to answer questions with the suggestion to use it but it is not easy for Windows. The better solution is to figure out why the program does not exit and fix the problem. That way it is possible to avoid making the same mistake in the future. What type of program is it? Is it a console program or a Windows Forms program or something else? It is probably a Windows Forms program and a form is not being closed.

try this private void KillProcess() { Boolean isAlive = true; while (isAlive == true) { foreach (Process runningProcess in System.Diagnostics.Process.GetProcesses()) { if (runningProcess.ProcessName == name of exe) { runningProcess.Kill(); } else { isAlive = false; } } } }
