You can use the GetProcessByName method for the Process class to do this.
Here's an example.

           string processName = "winword";
           Process[] processByNameList =
Process.GetProcessesByName(processName);
           foreach (Process p in processByNameList) {
               p.Kill(); }

don't forget to add using System.Diagonistics namespace reference to the top

Hi,

E.g. foreach (Process process in Process.GetProcessesByName("winword")) process.Kill();
