If there a way to close an application?

I should note first of all, im not a good c# programmer, but im trying!

Is there a way that i can 'get' an application that is currently active?
E.i.. i open chrome, while chrome is on to, can i close from within a windows form application?

Im using the speech api, and have got as far as the ocmputer registering what i say, and getting it to check if i said "Close application" isn't a problem. But when i say "close application", How do i get it to close chrome?

Thanks

A quick Google search would have given you the answer you are looking for:

Yeah, i saw that, it's great if i know the PID and application name.. but what if i don't?

I want to be able to close any application that is active, not just chrome

Use the GetForegroundWindow function from the the Windows API.
