Definition
Frees all the resources that are associated with this component.
Examples
The following example starts an instance of Notepad. It then retrieves the physical memory usage of the associated process at 2-second intervals for a maximum of 10 seconds. The example detects whether the process exits before 10 seconds have elapsed. The example closes the process if it is still running after 10 seconds.
Remarks
The Close method causes the process to stop waiting for exit if it was waiting, closes the process handle, and clears process-specific properties. Close does not close the standard output, input, and error readers and writers in case they are being referenced externally.
Note
The Dispose method calls Close. Placing the Process object in a
using
block disposes of resources without the need to call Close.Security
