close, running, application, how

I ineed a way to kill running processes in the task manager from a VB.NET application.

I am programming a Visual Basic (Visual Studio .net) program than opens word documents and copy the source into the destination word document. Then problem is that after a few hours, I have literally hundreds of winword.exe processes running the task manager. When I start a new word application and open up a word document from a VB program, is there a way to close it down so the process is not running or is there another way to kill the winword.exe process?

Rank: Wizard

aelatik:You can do that with existing .NET methods, here you go :

Dim myProcesses() As Process = Process.GetProcesses

Dim myProcess As Process

For Each myProcess In myProcesses

If (myProcess.ProcessName.ToLower = "winword") Then

myProcess.Kill()

End If
