Answer 1

Stopping a process is killing it.

Why do you need to "stop" the process without killing it? What do you mean by "stopping" the process?

You can use this tool to pause and resume processes.

Answer 2

Webdev.WebServer.exe is the development web server used by Visual Studio to allow quick debugging of ASP.NET applications.

Visual studio will stop it for you when it is not needed. What exact problem are you having that you want to stop it explicitly?
