Exit code from Windows Forms app
Application.Exit
just force the call to Application.Run
(That is typically in program.cs
) to finish. so you could have :
Application.Run(new MyForm());
Environment.Exit(0);
and still inside your application call Application.Exit
to close it.
Small sample
class Program
{
static int exitCode = 0;
public static void ExitApplication(int exitCode)
{
Program.exitCode = exitCode;
Application.Exit();
}
public int Main()
{
Application.Run(new MainForm());
return exitCode;
}
}
class MainForm : Form
{
public MainForm()
{
Program.ExitApplication(42);
}
}
If your main
method returns a value you can return the exit code there. Otherwise you can use Environment.ExitCode to set it.
