Will KillProcess return true on success? what this exit code means will that tells me it was a success? How can I check with an exitcode or returnCode and make sure a process actually killed?
There is absolutely no reason to loop!If you have the appropriate permissions to kill the process; the single call to KillProcess() will kill it. And if you do not; retrying won't help. Calling the Wait() method will ensure that it has actually died before your program continues; but be aware that if -- for example -- the process had just initiated a synchronous read request -- say a blocking tcp read -- to device or server that was slow, broken or non-existent, then you might have to wait quite some time before the process actually goes away and the Wait() completes. (For example: many tcp timeouts default to 900 seconds; some default DB server timeouts are even longer!) The bottom line is: for most purposes, simply getting a non-zero return code from KillProcess() is enough to allow you to proceed. With the rise and rise of 'Social' network sites: 'Computers are making people easier to use everyday'
Examine what is said, not who speaks -- Silence betokens consent -- Love the truth but pardon error.

In the absence of evidence, opinion is indistinguishable from prejudice.
