I want to close a newly opened internet Explorer window using the mshtml (c# code). I used the Mshtml with the instance of Ie and navigated through a url and clicked on a link. Once i click the link , i am getting the document opened in a new window. I want to know is there any way to fetch the values from the newly opened window and after getting the values to close the window..

Thanks in advance....

See the following code...

using System.Runtime.InteropServices;
// IE can be found in COM library called 
// Microsoft Internet Controls: 
using IE = SHDocVw.InternetExplorer; 
static void OpenAndCloseIE()
{
    // Get an instance of Internet Explorer: 
    Type objClassType = Type.GetTypeFromProgID("InternetExplorer.Application");
    var instance = Activator.CreateInstance(objClassType) as IE;

    // Close Internet Explorer again: 
    instance.Quit();

    // Release instance: 
    System.Runtime.InteropServices.Marshal.ReleaseComObject(instance);
    instance = null; // Don't forget to unreference it. 
}

  • It's funny how the `quit` method is used in one of the examples in the [docs](https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa752084.aspx) but it doesn't appear in the list of available methods. – GetFree Mar 02 '15 at 21:19
