How to stop all cassini instances?

Question

When I am running my application, It opens many instance of cassini. How can i stop all or some of the cassini instances quickly.

I know to kill all the processes from task manager. Can it be done in some better and faster way?

I'm not sure whether or not this applies to your particular problem, but are you aware that you can turn off "Auto assign port" in project properties, and always use a specific port, if that's what's causing your several instances? — David Hedlund, Dec 07 '11 at 10:04

The process name has changed on this version its now:

taskkill /IM WebDev.WebServer40.exe /F

When that doesn't work, check the tasklist for a similar name.

This Visual Studio extension provides a quick way to kill all instances of Cassini (via a shortcut key)

EDIT :
If you want to do it via command line only, then you can use the taskkill command. An example:

taskkill /IM WebDev.WebServer /F

See this page for more examples, and an explination of the command. You may need to specify WebDev.WebServer40 for the .Net 4 web server

I had to Add .exe to the end of name, then it works just fine – Ales Ruzicka Mar 06 '12 at 15:28
