c# + getting proccesses 1

[kalkalai]

Hi,

I am trying to get all the processes running and kill them like this

foreach (Process process in Process.GetProcessesByName("Excel"))
{
process.Kill();
}


But the problem with this is that there may be processes that were not started by my application...

For example, I am running an application written in C# it initiates Excel processes, how can I collect only those Excel processes that were started by my application and kill only those no others!

Thanks in advance!

as you start an instance of excel you could add it to list of processes/process names. when the time comes use that list to kill the processes.

As a note, i would add the Process ID to a list rather than the name - then kill via the PID, just to avoid any more conflicts.
