How to close another program with C#

How to close another application/program with c#, like eg, how to close Word with c# or how to RUN photoshop with c#


//it's not too complicated i think

Process []pArry = Process.GetProcesses();

foreach(Process p in pArry)
{
string s = p.ProcessName;
s = s.ToLower();
if (s.CompareTo("winword") ==0)
{
p.Kill();
}
}

if u want to run photoshop with C# then
use
Process.Start("...");
where .. is the path of the exe.

what if it's not word but other program???

well you can write what the program name is or pass from command line parameters or pass by reference to some objects.

can i use its path?

well yes actually, but you will need to cut it in order to get its process , as In my above sample "winword" is the process you are looking for.

check the Process class in more details. if FullName offers that and if it tells where it was loaded from then I think you will be able to do that.
