        GC.Collect();
        GC.WaitForPendingFinalizers();
        wb.Close(false, Type.Missing, Type.Missing);

Answer 1

You might have to manually show the Excel window:

excelApp.Visible = true;

However, I've heard that they are some issues related to specific Excel versions (it might work for some, and not for others).

Answer 2

You need to set the Visible property of the excelApp to true.

Excel.Application excelApp = new Excel.Application();
excelApp.Visible = true;
