How to kill the main thread?

Question

A strange problem. I kill the main thread, but when the program ends, it still processes the code after this.Close() .

Any ideas on how to stop this?

 MessageBox.Show("Servers overloaded. Exiting."); this.Close(); //...other code that processes even after it closes... 

Answer 1

Closing the window does not stop the stream.

You can use Environment.Exit to shut down immediately.

Unlike ASP.Net Response.End() calling Close does not cancel the thread.

You need to add return; after calling Close() to exit the method.

Answer 3

Why does it stop at Close() ? It is still going to exit your method - most things, such as Close() , will include sending something to the Windows message queue and processing it. If you need to exit NOW, then maybe Environment.FailFast ...
