.NET Base Class Library Killing the process
Question:

Hi
 

if I wrote
 
process.WaitForExit();
process.Kill();
 
Does second statement neccissary, the question is drived from my suspesion that term "Exiting the Process" differ from 
"Killing the process" term.  
 
Is exiting a process free its resources?

Answer1:

WaitForExit() will just let the process run until it exits by itself. The Kill() method has no effect.

A process that terminates will free all resources it was holding.

When the Kill() method is executed on a process, it will free all it's resources.
