Thank you Rupex!   I need to figure out how to monitor an application is running and if not running then start it.

Answer 3

Hi, enjoy this code:

        Dim appMonitor = From p In System.Diagnostics.Process.GetProcessesByName("MyApp") Select p
        If appMonitor.Count = 0 Then
            ' Code here to restart the app
        End If

So above, you query the processes by name, if your app is not in the list the put some code in to start it again
