killing excel.exe

[abhinav12345]

Hi All,

I am using Excel.Application object in my code. Now I would like to kill excel.exe created in the task manager.

I am using window API function
Declare Function GetWindowThreadProcessId Lib "user32.dll" _
(ByVal hWnd As IntPtr, ByRef lpdwProcessId As Integer) As Integer


Now I am able to get the process ID of excel.exe when i run this code
in a stand alone page.

When I create a virtual directory and run the page from there,
the process ids returned by this function is zero.

Could anyone pls help.

are you using the process class ? and a .net language? because you can use process.getprocessesbyid method, or others in the class, and use the .kill() method or a safer method, like .closemainwindow() or .close()?

Hi joedeene,
I am using the process class and the .kill method but in order to identify a
process to kill , I need to know its process id.

I am not able to identify this process id of excel.exe. If I get this process id then I can kill the excel.exe
In order to get this process id I am using
Declare Function GetWindowThreadProcessId Lib "user32.dll" _
(ByVal hWnd As IntPtr, ByRef lpdwProcessId As Integer) As Integer

But when the application is put under a virtual directory and page is being run then process ids being returned by this function are 0.

When page is being run by just right clicking on it and "view in browser", then
process ids are returned.

I am using <identity impersonate="true"/> in my web.config
