Answer 2

The Start() method returns a Project object. Call its Kill method:

  Private WithEvents MyProcess As Process

  Private Sub MyProcess_Exited(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyProcess.Exited
    MyProcess = Nothing
  End Sub

  Private Sub RunIt()
    MyProcess = Process.Start("notepad.exe")
  End Sub

  Private Sub StopIt()
    If MyProcess IsNot Nothing Then MyProcess.Kill()
  End Sub

Answer 3

dim myProc as Process
myProc=Process.Start("C:\Process.exe")

...
myProc.kill

Answer 4

Others have mentioned the Kill method to force a process to terminate. You might wish to call CloseMainWindow so that the app can have a chance to shut down gracefully.
