Ranorex Forum

Hi,
here is my vb code, but when I try to compile Ranorex gives process not foud error, please help me.

Dim proc = Process.GetProcessesByName("RealtimeConnectionsClient.exe")
For i As Integer = 0 To proc.Count - 1
proc(i).CloseMainWindow()
Next i

Hi,

I'm not a VB.Net expert, but the code looks OK to me? Just one thing, use "RealtimeConnectionsClient" instead of "RealtimeConnectionsClient.exe" as the process name and make sure the process name is correct! I believe the processname must be always without the ".exe" extension.

GetProcessByName returns an array, and you didn't declare proc as an array.

Try

Dim proc() as process = nothing
proc = Process.GetProcessesByName("RealtimeConnectionsClient")
For i As Integer = 0 To proc.Count - 1
    proc(i).CloseMainWindow()
Next I

Thanks Aracknid
I tried your suggestion and Ranorex compiler returned me this error, can you help for this error ?

'Count' is not a member of 'System.Array'. (BC30456)


And here is my full code part for the function, do I miss a library or sth ?

I also tried Host.Local.KillApplication which is comment out in the code.

Sub KillProcess()
''Host.Local.KillApplication("RealtimeConnectionsClient")
Dim proc() as process = nothing
proc = Process.GetProcessesByName("RealtimeConnectionsSV2.exe")
For i As Integer = 0 To proc.Count - 1
proc(i).CloseMainWindow()
Next i
End Sub

First, you still have ". Exe" in your string of the process name, which is wrong and leads to no matches found for proc, so proc = nothing, and that is the run time error. Remove ". Exe" and add a line of code to not do the if, if proc is nothing.

Aracknid, my real problem was not 'not finding' because of exe but it was not even compiling..

Ok I just replaced .count with length and it compiled thanks.

My second question is, I have more than one exe to kill, can I add more exe to proc, since its an array ?

I think at this point in time, it would be a good idea for you to read the online help available for handling or getting processes. You'll find a lot of useful functions and examples that should help you get through this.
