    Hey there, so basicly I'm writing a little application that will kill some processes and some junk programs running in the background. Yea i know this can be done in task manager aswell, but I want to learn ^^.

    So, I want a button called "Get all running proccesses", when u click that button all processes should get added to a dropdown box, so the user can select the process in the dropdown menu. right now i got this command:
    Code:
    foreach (System.Diagnostics.Process p in System.Diagnostics.Process.GetProcessesByName(textBox1.Text))
                {
                    try
                    {
                        p.Kill();
                        p.WaitForExit();
                        progressBar1.Value = 100;
                        label1.ForeColor = System.Drawing.Color.Green;
                        label1.Text = "Process Successfully Killed";
                        timer1.Start();
                        textBox1.ResetText();
                    }
                    catch (Win32Exception)
                    {
    
                    }
                    catch (InvalidOperationException)
                    {
    
                    }
    it will kill the text entered in the textbox, so i just want to replace the text box with a dropdown menu :P, any thoughts on how i could do this?

    Edit: also, is there any way i can make label1 it say "couldnt find process" or something similar if it could find the process? :)

    Kind Regards
