Shutting down an app

[Dave]

What's the cleanest way to shut down an app (from within the app)?
System.Windows.Forms.Application.Exit has no effect at all..

Thanks

Have you tried

this.close();

Best regards,

Yes, no effect at all. I'm doing this from the form's constructor - is that
the problem? Also, is it possible that these commands have no effect when
debugging?

Hello Dave,

have haven't had a problem with this.Close except when I tried using it when
a timer finished it's counting.

It works in buttons rather effectively. Are you using it in a windows form,
a dll or what?

I have only used it in Windows forms, so far. I have no idea if it makes
any difference.

Best regards,

I'm using it from the end of a form constructor when I find that the terms
and agreement has been rejected.

It appears to be that you cannot shut down an app from within the main form's
constructor. Oh well.. easy enough to move this code to the 'Main' method.
