Re: Process.Start & Process.Kill

Yes, I think that is probably what is happening.  So looks like I have
to automate Outlook to close the message?

Wild stab, but does starting a process with an extension type of .msg
cause Outlook to spawn a new instance, detect the single instance that's
allowed and then pass a message to it to open that message, and then
exit?

Subject: [DOTNET-WINFORMS] Process.Start & Process.Kill

If I Process.Start a pdf file, I can later do Process.Kill and it closes
fine.  If I do the same with a saved Outlook msg file, the message opens
fine, but when I try to kill the process I get an exception because the
process has already exited.  Can someone please explain the difference,
and how I can best close an outlook form that I have opened?  

proc = Process.Start("MyPdfFile.pdf");
proc.Kill(); <== Works fine


proc = Process.Start("MyMessageFile.msg");
proc.Kill(); <== Process already exited.
 
 
Thanks for any clarification
