Examples

' Start the Calculator 
Dim rp As RemoteProcess = device.GetRemoteProcess()
rp.Start("\windows\calc.exe", "")

' List all running processes 
Console.WriteLine("Type the number of the process you want to end" & _
                  vbCr & vbLf)
Dim processes As Collection(Of RemoteProcess) = device.GetRunningProcesses()
Dim i As Integer 
For i = 0 To processes.Count - 1
    Console.WriteLine(i & ")  " & processes(i).FileName & _
                      " [" & processes(i).ToString() & "]")
Next i

' Get user input and end the process 
Dim index As Integer = Convert.ToInt32(Console.ReadLine())
Console.WriteLine("Attempting to stop " & processes(index).FileName)
processes(index).Kill()
If processes(index).HasExited() Then
    Console.WriteLine("Process is no longer running")
End If

// Start the Calculator.
RemoteProcess rp = device.GetRemoteProcess();
rp.Start("\\windows\\calc.exe", "");

// List all running processes.
Console.WriteLine("Type the number of the process you want to end\r\n");
Collection<RemoteProcess> processes = device.GetRunningProcesses();
for (int i = 0; i < processes.Count; i+)
{
    Console.WriteLine(i + ")  " + processes[i].FileName + 
        " [" + processes[i].ToString() + "]");
}

// Get user input and end the process. 
int index = Convert.ToInt32(Console.ReadLine());
