I am working on a C# .Net windows based application. I want to open and close a url(browser tab) using C#.

currently I am using following code

C#

System.Diagnostics.Process[] procs = System.Diagnostics.Process.GetProcessesByName("CHROME");

            foreach (System.Diagnostics.Process proc in procs)
            {
                // Look for Google title.

                if (proc.MainWindowTitle.ToLower().IndexOf("telerik") > -1)
                    proc.Kill(); // Close it down.
            }

but it closes Chrome browser and not a particular tab. How can I close a specific tab among all tabs. I have to implement this for all browsers too. How can I achieve this?

AFAIK, there is no way that you can close a specific tab in any browser.
It's possible that you could write an extension for each browser which allows you to do that, but then the extension would have to be installed.

If you are trying to do this so that your users can't access FarceBook, or Twatter for example, you would be better off setting up a proxy which forbids access in the first place instead - it would be a lot easier, and more secure.
