How to forcibly end a process?

I'm trying to close a process in visual basic that gives me an access denied error otherwise in task manager. I believe c has a TerminateProcess command but I have no clue about vb, even a workaround method would be great. Any help is greatly appreciated!

"Exit Sub"

If by process you mean a method...if you mean an actual PCU thread or process, then I think it would be the "ExitProcess" API function. (If you don't yet know what APIs are, go to www.allapi.net)

You can use TerminateProcess in vb.

I don't think I made myself very clear, I'm talking about killing another process, not ending the vb one. Or maybe I'm just confused...

You're gonna need an Api call to end another running process check out All Api (http://www.allapi.net) like sscheife said.
