.NET Forum / .NET Framework / Compact Framework / June 2004Beginner again - Closing VB .net application
From what I see in the help the following should close my app:- Application.Exit() but what it appears to do instead is freeze it. Suggestions? Steve While Application.Exit() should close your application, the definite recommended way to exit would be to call the Close method on your main form instead. http://wiki.opennetcf.org/ow.asp?CompactFrameworkFAQ%2FClosingForms  SignatureTim Wilson .Net Compact Framework MVP > From what I see in the help the following should close my app:- > [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > > Steve > While Application.Exit() should close your application, the definite > recommended way to exit would be to call the Close method on your main form > instead. > http://wiki.opennetcf.org/ow.asp?CompactFrameworkFAQ%2FClosingForms Ahhh, thanks. With a little more digging around, I found I could use Me.Close() to achieve what I want. Am I right in thinking that once I have built a more complex application I will need to build something more robust - e.g. close each individual form component first before issuing a Close.Me() to kill the entire application? Steve While I don't think that's absolutely necessary, I would say out of good practice make sure to Close each open form before you Close your main form.

Whilst looking for something else I found sample code that appeared to - Keep a count of each form object used - have something that then would close each in turn on demand, decrementing a counter too. Of course I cannot find that code now that I *want* it :-) Is the above method strictly necessary, or is it possible to build something like (pseudocode alert!!!!!) repeat with Obj = each object in mainForm Obj.Close end Steve In the help file for Form.Show() it indicates that "when a form is closed, all resources created within the object are closed and the form is disposed." Unless you are seeing some type of issue in your application I would say that what you've pseudocoded wouldn't be that necessary. Just close forms when you're done with them.
