.NET Forum / .NET Framework / New Users / April 2005Killing process
Hi, I just created my first vb.net pocket pc application - that consists of a main dialog and an additional dialog that is defined globally like this: Dim x as New MyTestDialog As the dialog's constructor takes a lot of time to do all that is necessary, it is called only one time when the process starts - and I just call ShowDialog any time I need to display it to the user. But, when the application is closed by the user - the process somehow seems to remain active (as e.g. the executable is not deletable, the Form_load handler of the main form is not called again,...). I tried to Dispose() the additional form - but nethertheless the problem remains. As the .net compact framework does not contain a Process class - can anyone tell me how I can just kill myself (my own process)? Thanks Andreas 1. If your main form has MinimizeBox = true, then your app does not exit when the user clicks on X, rather gets smart-minimised as per the guidelines of the PPC platform. 2. The correct way to exit a CF app is by closing the main form (e.g. Me.Close). The main form is the one you passed to Application.Run 3. Regardless of the above, if you are using worker threads (any thread other than the UI one) you must make sure they have exited or the process will not shutdown properly 4. Since you want to create a form once and cache/reuse it, it is best to use Show (not ShowDialog) and then Hide/Show as appropriate Finally, it sounds like you are a desktop developer moving to CF for PPCs (apologies if I got that wrong) so this may be of use: http://www.danielmoth.com/Blog/2005/01/desktop-to-ppc-part.html If you follow-up please remove the other groups.. CF ng is the only applicable one for your question.. thanks Cheers Daniel -- http://www.danielmoth.com/Blog/ > Hi, > [quoted text clipped - 19 lines] > Thanks > Andreas Free MagazinesGet these publications absolutely FREE for up to 12 months.
