Hi All

I have a probelm with Excel Automation. I create an Excel Application and
open a workbook. Then I close the workbook and Quit the Excel Application,
but the Excel.exe Process does not disapear...

What am i doing wrong?

Thanks

My Code:

using System;
using System.Reflection;
using Excel = Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel;

namespace TestApplication
{
/// <summary
/// Summary description for ExcelTest.
/// </summary
public class ExcelTest
{
[STAThread]
static void Main()
{
//my excel file
string file = @"C:\Tmp\Test.xls";

//Set culture to english-US, otherwise the interop won't work
System.Threading.Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCultu re = new
System.Globalization.CultureInfo("en-US");

//Create the excel application
Excel.ApplicationClass app = new
Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel.ApplicationClass();

//Open the workbook
Excel.Workbook wb = app.Workbooks.Open(file, false, true, Missing.Value,
Missing.Value, Missing.Value,
Missing.Value, Missing.Value, Missing.Value, Missing.Value,
Missing.Value, Missing.Value, Missing.Value, Missing.Value,
Missing.Value);

//Close the workbook
wb.Close(false, Missing.Value, Missing.Value);

//Release the workbook com reference
System.Runtime.InteropServices.Marshal.ReleaseComO bject(wb);
wb = null;

//Close the excel application
app.Quit();

//Release the application com reference
System.Runtime.InteropServices.Marshal.ReleaseComO bject(app);
app = null;

System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(5000);
GC.Collect();
GC.WaitForPendingFinalizers();
GC.Collect();
GC.WaitForPendingFinalizers();
}
}
}
