Dec 30 2010 2:19 AM

I'm creating an excel file!!! exporting gridview to excel!! gridview contains 1000+ rows so process taking 20 seconds
So am using application.doevents and showing "excel creation is in progress" Message in status bar (running progress bar using application.doevents) i have an option to stop the creation process!!!!
Problem is everytime i stop the Excel creation process!!!! There is an EXCEL.exe process running in taskmanager. When i shutdown !! Each excel process holds an excel book and askinggg do u want to save Book1,Book2? How to dispose?
Here is my code

if (myDataTable.Rows.Count != 0)

                {

                    if (MessageBox.Show("Message", "Confirm?", MessageBoxButtons.YesNo, MessageBoxIcon.Exclamation) == DialogResult.Yes)

                    {

 

                        SaveFileDialog SaveFD1 = new SaveFileDialog();

                        string FileName = "";

                        SaveFD1.FileName = "SAMPLE";

                        SaveFD1.Title = "Save File As";

                        SaveFD1.Filter = "Excel (*.xls)|*.xls";

 

                        if (SaveFD1.ShowDialog() == DialogResult.OK)

                        {

                            CurrentProcess = "EXCEL";

 

                            FileName = SaveFD1.FileName;

                            toolStripStatusLabel1.Text = "Creating Excel File..";

 

                            Invoke(new MyDelegate(ShowProgressBar), true);

                            statusStrip2.Visible = true;

                            Application.DoEvents();

 

 

                            Excel.Application xlApp;

                            Excel.Workbook xlWorkBook;

                            Excel.Worksheet xlWorkSheet;

 

                            object misValue = System.Reflection.Missing.Value;

 

 

                            xlApp = new Excel.ApplicationClass();

                            xlWorkBook = xlApp.Workbooks.Add(misValue);

                            xlWorkSheet = (Excel.Worksheet)xlWorkBook.Worksheets.get_Item(1);

                            xlApp.Columns.ColumnWidth = 30;

                            xlWorkBook.SaveCopyAs("Sample.xls");

                            statusStrip2.Visible = true;

                            Application.DoEvents();

                            //For loop Couters

                            int i = 0;

                            int j = 0;

                            int k = 0;

                            string cell = "";

                            for (i = 0; i <= myDataTable.Rows.Count - 1; i++)

                                    return;

                                }

                                if (i % 50 == 0)

                                {

                                    Application.DoEvents();

                                }

                                k = -1;

                            xlWorkBook.SaveCopyAs("Sa.xls");

                            xlWorkBook.Close(true, misValue, misValue);

                            xlApp.Quit();

 

                            releaseObject(xlWorkSheet);

                        }

                    }

                }

                else
