Kill a process using a handle Win32


Hi I have a simple requirement to kill a process or get a process using the Handle.

I tried getting the process using handle but i don't see any good API that does that. Alternately I tried getting all active processes by Process.GetProcesses() looped through each process to see if they match the handle but it throws exception when trying to access some handles. So I guess that's not the best way.

How can i achieve this?


Solution

  • Have you tried GetProcessesByName() method

    foreach (var p in Process.GetProcessesByName("your.exe"))
        {
            p.Kill();
        }
