Kill Process Excel C#

Question

I have to 2 process excel. For example:

1) example1.xlsx 2) example2.xlsx

How to kill first \"example1.xlsx\"?

I use this code:

   f         


        

Answer 1

In the namespace section add this using statement.

using System.Diagnostics;

This example instantiated Excel with this:

_Application excel = new _Excel.Application();

This method kills the right Excel task by using the window handle.

    public void Kill()
    {
        Int32 ExcelHwnd = excel.Hwnd;
        Process[] localExcel = Process.GetProcessesByName("EXCEL");
        foreach (Process Pgm in localExcel)
        {
            // xlMinimized keeps the screen from flashing when the user interface is made 
            // visible with the excel.visible needed to set the MainWindowHandle
            excel.WindowState = XlWindowState.xlMinimized;
            excel.Visible = true;
            if ((Pgm.ProcessName == "EXCEL") && (ExcelHwnd == Pgm.MainWindowHandle.ToInt32()))
            {
                Pgm.Kill();
            }
        }
    }

This worked without fail.
