Process.ClosemainWindow does not work

Question

Hi all,
One I start a process (say WMPlayer) with Process.Start.
I want to terminate the process with process.CloseMainWindow.
Things go as expected when I am debugging the code, but does not happen when I am executing the executable. The process.CloseWindow does not work, as in process does not get killed.
Thanks
Sudarshan

Thanks...but I was looking for a softer way for killing a process.

Hi,
Try like this
Process.Kill instead of process.CloseMainWindow
foreach(System.Diagnostics.Process myProc in System.Diagnostics.Process.GetProcesses()) { if (myProc.ProcessName == "process name") { myProc.Kill(); } }
