Good Day,

I am using visual studio.net. I want to know if there's a way to end a
certain process that is running or prevent it from executing while my program
is running...

Here's what I wanna do, I have a program, when I start it, another program
conflict with it. I want that program automatically kill when I use my
program, also if it is not running it cannot execute while my program is
running. I hope you understand my sentence cause I'm not good in English.

Thanks,

Don't write your program to do that.

Just display a message to the user, informing them of the conflict and
instructing them to resolve it. They then have the option of either
shutting down the other program, or yours.

Even better would be to fix your program so that it does not conflict
with the other one. Conflicts between programs are unusual, and this is
especially true for .NET applications. You should think carefully about
whatever it is that is causing the conflict to occur, and look for a
different implementation that does not cause a conflict.

Process.GetProcessByXxxxx(...).Kill()

should kill another process.

I am not sure that I like the behavior of such a program though.
