You can kill a process in several ways, by using the process's Name, ID, Handle, MainWindowTitle, and more. The following sample will show you how to kill a process using the processes name and main window title. Error handling is provided to make sure it doesn't throw a False when it tries to kill a SYSTEM process.

Public Function KillProcess(ByVal procName As String) As Boolean

    For Each p As Process In Process.GetProcesses
        If p.ProcessName.StartsWith(procName) Then
            Try
                p.Kill()
            Catch
            End Try
        ElseIf p.MainWindowTitle.StartsWith(procName) Then
            Try
                p.Kill()
            Catch
            End Try
        End If
    Next
    Return (True)
End Function

'Usage'
KillProcess("explorer")

What about..

Process.GetProcessesByName(TextBox1.Text).Length = 0
Dim pProcess() As Process = System.Diagnostics.Process.GetProcessesByName(TextBox1.Text)

For Each p As Process In pProcess
p.Kill()
Next
