If I have only one main form in my WinForms app, do I also need to
call Application.Exit() after this.Close() or will just the call to
Close() suffice?

If you have only one form, you probably are opening that form with
Application.Run(theForm), in the Main() method in Progam.cs. When you do
this, the application terminates when theForm is closed. Therefore, in this
case, you don't need Application.Exit.
