Kill process??

Question

Hi When I save my data to Excel a thread is started and when it's done it closes the thread. It seemed to work well without any problem. But after I got it working I noticed that I was running 96 processes!! If an error occurs while it is sending the data to the excel file the thread does not get killed. So how do I kill EXCEL.EXE thread??

public Process [] GetRunningProcesses( string machineName) { /// / // Get the System process list /// /// if ( string .IsNullOrEmpty(machineName)) machineName = . ; Process [] procs = Process .GetProcesses(machineName); return procs; } public void KillProcess( string processName) //Process name EXCEL { foreach ( Process p in GetRunningProcesses( string .Empty)) { if (p.ProcessName == processName) p.Kill(); } }

I am using ExcelAutomation. It creates the process itself and then kills the process when it's finished. But if it gets an error the process is not killed. I need the easiest way to retrieve all running processes finding the EXCEL.EXE process and then killing it.

try the .Abort() method on the thread object
