PID is 'Process IDentity'. it is basically a number
assigned to each process during run-time and during
troubleshooting the processes which create deadlocks and
other system failures are kiled by actually referring to
their PIDs

Answer / sarma
The process ID provides the ID of a specific instance of the running application so each instance of IE would have a different PID. Once we obtain the PID of the right instance we can attach a debugger like visual studio to the app and debug it correctly. The System.Process provides classes and methods to programmatically stop/start the processes and monitor other process attributes like memory usage etc.

Answer / kirti
PID is the process Id of the application in Windows. Whenever a process starts running in the Windows environment, it is associated with an individual process Id or PID.
The PID (Process ID) a unique number for each item on the Process Tab, Image Name list. How do you get the PID to appear? In Task Manger, select the View menu, then select columns and check PID (Process Identifier).
In Linux, PID is used to debug a process explicitly. However we cannot do this in a windows environment.
Microsoft has launched a SDK called as Microsoft Operations Management (MOM). This uses the PID to find out which dll�s have been loaded by a process in the memory. This is essentially helpful in situations where the Process which has a memory leak is to be traced to a erring dll. Personally I have never used a PID, our Windows debugger does the things required to find out.
