I have to 2 process excel. For example:

1) example1.xlsx 2) example2.xlsx

How to kill first "example1.xlsx"?

I use this code: 

   foreach (Process clsProcess in Process.GetProcesses())
     if (clsProcess.ProcessName.Equals("EXCEL"))  //Process Excel?
          clsProcess.Kill();

That kill a both. I wanna kill just one... Thank you.

If your current code is working, this amendment should kill the first process it finds with the name "EXCEL".

foreach (Process clsProcess in Process.GetProcesses())
{
  if (clsProcess.ProcessName.Equals("EXCEL"))
  {
    clsProcess.Kill();
    break;
  }
}

If you want to kill a specific process, you're going to have to give a bit more information.

Excel will always be a single process, AFAIK. The same process/windows opens multiple documents inside it. What you want to do is use Excel automation to CLOSE the document you want to. Perhaps this will get you started. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/302084

Hope this helps.
