            .SelectMany(o => Process.GetProcessesByName(o)).ToList();

foreach (var item in procs)
{
        Console.WriteLine(item.ProcessName);
}

VB.NET

Dim procs As IEnumerable(Of Process) = _
        {"firefox", "iexplore", "ssms", "notepad++", "chrome"}.SelectMany(Function(proc) Process.GetProcessesByName(proc))
For Each p In procs
     Console.WriteLine(p.ProcessName)
