  • Your taskkill command works on window server 2003 either. I succeeded to stop all WebDev.WebServer.exe by the single command after launch several ones for test. – sesame Mar 24 '10 at 05:33

Yeap, you are right, it will kill all process & ASP.NET service The problem, actually, is how to kill WebDev.WebServer40.EXE, which was run with specified port. f.e. I have: WebDev.WebServer40.exe /port:10254 /path:"D:...\Web1" WebDev.WebServer40.exe /port:10512 /path:"D:...\Web2"

and taskkill /F /IM WebDev.WebServer40.exe will close all my sites, when I want only one of them

p.s. The Author means stop process == kill process, don't mind

Stopping a process is killing it.

Why do you need to "stop" the process without killing it? What do you mean by "stopping" the process?

You can use this tool to pause and resume processes.

  • I don't know if stop procdss WebDev.WebServer.exe is the same that kill it. Is the same stop&kill actions for the memory, appdomain, threads, ... ? Does the results of stop-kills are sames ? thanks. – Alhambra Eidos Jan 14 '10 at 15:18
  • I just don't understand what you mean by "stop" a process. How do you "stop" any other process? – Oded Jan 14 '10 at 15:28

Webdev.WebServer.exe is the development web server used by Visual Studio to allow quick debugging of ASP.NET applications.

Visual studio will stop it for you when it is not needed. What exact problem are you having that you want to stop it explicitly?
