How to use Application.Exit Event in WPF?

If you don't like adding Exit event to XAML, you could try this alternative.

Add following method to your App.xaml.cs:

protected override void OnExit(ExitEventArgs e)
{
    base.OnExit(e);
    // Your code here
}

It's quite simple:

Add "Exit" property to the application tag

<Application x:Class="WpfApplication4.App"
             xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
             xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
             StartupUri="MainWindow.xaml"
             Exit="Application_Exit">
</Application>

and handle it in the "code behind"

private void Application_Exit(object sender, ExitEventArgs e)
{
    // Perform tasks at application exit
}

The Exit event is fired when the application is shutting down or the Windows session is ending. It is fired after the SessionEnding event. You cannot cancel the Exit event.

you should add app_exit in your xaml code

 <Application x:Class="CSharp.App"
  xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
  xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
  StartupUri="MainWindow.xaml" 
  ShutdownMode="OnExplicitShutdown"
  Exit="App_Exit"
    >
</Application>

you can just hook the event Closing on your main window like this -

 <Window Closing="Window_Closing">

And in your event do all the work you need

    private void Window_Closing(object sender, CancelEventArgs e)
{
     MessageBox.Show("File deleted");
    var systemPath = System.Environment.GetFolderPath(
                              Environment.SpecialFolder.CommonApplicationData);

            var _directoryName1 = Path.Combine(systemPath, "RadiolocationQ");
            var temp_file = Path.Combine(_directoryName1, "temp.ini");

            if (File.Exists(temp1_file))
            {
                File.Delete(temp1_file);
            }
}
