Hi!

I'm using VB.NET for a web-application that starts some process using CreateObject, like this:

Dim AVObject = CreateObject("avwin.application")

After all is done everything get closed down en stopped using the proper release functions, however, for some reason the process remains.

Is there some way in which I can get the process id of the started process, in order to explicitly kill it just before termination?

Thanks
