By using task manager? If you need to do this with code to your app(s) then you have a problem in your design approach

I agree with you, my 5. However, this is not an answer. In some cases there is no other work-around (I hate to admit that, please see my comment to the post by Griff).

Why would you want to do that? I can't think of a reason that wasn't malicious...

I can give you some real-life reason. Sometime you're using a lousy 3rd-party component which prevent closing a current process normally. Of course you have to get rid of it, but... for now this is the only library (without source code) supporting your hardware which cost you good amount of money. If you deal with "industrial-grade" hardware, it happens all the time -- almost all of those people have no idea how to program (but they do).

There are many other cases. Even more typical case is the idiotic architecture. Malicious indent is the most unlikely.

This is done via System.Diagnostics.Process.Kill. It's your business where you get a reference to a Process instance. It could be a process that you have started yourself via System.Diagnostics.Process.Start, it can be a process from the list of processes obtained via System.Diagnostics.Process.GetProcesses, System.Diagnostics.Process.GetProcessesByName, etc. After all, it can be your current process which you have trouble to terminate normally by any reasons.

In all cases this is a good sign that your development is in deep crisis, so you will need to fix the design. I agree with Simon Whale, please see my comments.
