I'm using Visual Studio .NET (not 2003), and am
developing a class that works with Word theough the
Office PIAs (Interop). I can open word and do things
with it programatically, but I can't close it.
Specifically, when I try to call the Quit() method on the
application object, VB gives me the following error:
'Quit' is ambiguous across the inherited
interfaces 'Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word._Application'
and 'Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word.ApplicationEvents3_ Even
t'
Huh? Seems odd to me... All I'm doing is performing an
XSLTransform on some XML data, which changes it to HTML,
then opening the HTML in Word and saving it as a .doc
or .rtf file. It all works, including the file save, but
I can't call Quit() without getting the above error.
That leaves Word running in memory... Which is a very bad
thing.
I've included the source for the entire class for
reference. Help!
