Can't disconnect form Excel Introp after saving created Excel File
I am trying to save an excel file that was created and written to via a C# application using the Excel Interop. I have looked all over this site as others to find a code that properly works and I have yet to find one. My excel interop funciton uses a workbook, worksheet, app, and workshee_range object. Does anyone have any suggestions. The easier the solution the better. I'm a beginner to intermediate level C# programmer and an advanced solution will likely be out of my scope of knowledge. The unhandled exception I am getting when trying to disconnect from the excel interop after saving and then closting the excel file says 'Object reference not set to an instance of an object.'
here is the code I am using to do the aforementioned process:
workbook.SaveAs(startForm.excelFileLocation);
workbook.Close();
app.Quit();
Marshal.ReleaseComObject(workSheet_range);
Marshal.ReleaseComObject(worksheet);
Marshal.ReleaseComObject(workbook);
Marshal.ReleaseComObject(app);
app = null;
workbook = null;
worksheet = null;
workSheet_range = null;
Here is the full bit of code:

This means that when excelTimer_Tick is executed, the value of workbook is null ( startForm can't be null, because otherwise you would have the error on if (startForm.excelActionFlag != "ownerContacts") ).
I'd put a breakpoint on that line and check in the Watch window (or QuickWatch) whether it's null or not.
To see why it's null, you can refactor your workbook field into a property and put the breakpoint in the setter to see when it's set to null (or whether excelTimer_Tick is called before the field is set).
