Nov 8, 2011I have an app written in vb.net. When I close it (I've tried me.close and application.exit), it doesn't completely close. Ie, I still see it in task manager.

View 3 RepliesI have a button in Main screen, which calls A.exe when you pressed on it.
Process.Start("A.exe").
If I exit from Main, how can I make sure A.exe is closed too? Application.Exit in Main doesnt seems to work.
Is there a command that closes an application completey down, including any hidden forms, etc?

View 4 RepliesI don't know if this is a VB2005 or MS Excel issue so I will start with VB2005.
This is how I open an Excel file in VB2005[code]...
The problem is MS Excel always open a Book1.xlsx in addition to my Data.xlsx. As such closing Data.xlsx only closes Data.xlsx but not Book1.xlsx. Over time, as I continue to develope and debug my program, Task Manager would collect "countless" Book1.xlsx. Wth EXCEL.EXE still opened, I noticed that my VB2005 doesn't work "completely" right.
If this is a VB2005 issue then how do I "completely" close everything that is Excel? If this is a Windows issue, and if you could offer a solution as well
I'm running a multithreaded application that connects to a database, the connections are closed when I'm done with them (and I dispose of all the threads). I've tried clearing the connection pools, setting pooling=false and I've used both .dispose and .close.
I get the error "cannot drop the database X because it is currently in use" if I try to drop the database I connected to after the connections have all been closed.
Below is my code:
Dim comExecuteInsert As New SqlCommand
Dim comm As New SqlConnection
If (Not comm Is Nothing) Then
comm = Nothing
End If
[Code] .....
The stored procedure creates temporary tables which it later drops and inserts data into tables existing in the database.
I have just done my program, just skeleton not completely, the final problem has not been solved up to this time.When I run my application, the Icon of its will be showed at TaskTray. I would like the icon is there when I exit fom of application and then If I double click on the Icon, the application will be showed.

I'm having a bit of a problem getting my application to close properly. Basically I have one main form from which all other forms open. If a user tries to close that main form, I want to bring up a MessageBox asking if they want to exit the application.However, when I try to do that it asks the question twice. It seems that the Application.Exit() is triggering the FormClosing event again for some reason, but I don't know of another way to exit the application. BTW, the main form isn't the startup form so I can't use the option to close when the startup form closes.

I've been working on two projects, one needs to have multiple forms, but when I open one form, it needs to close the sender.
But, when I try it, the program exits! I don't want it, I just want to close the form, not the app.
I tried the 'Form1.Hide()' too, but it doesn't sound good to me. There is other approach?
Just curious on what the difference is between the "Me.Close" and the "End" code for Visual Basic in terms of writing a Exit Button?

I am using Visual Studio 2010..I have multiple forms and when I hit close button(red X, top-right) from any form, i want the project to close entirely.Now when I do this, this does not happen by default. I always have to click on the 'stop' button in VS for it to close.
View 6 RepliesI am trying to close my application and I have coded on the form closing, form closed events to call an exit form which asks the user for confirmation to exit or not. All works fine. When I press the X button on the winform things act different. On the main form where I press the X btn I store some user ID data that I use throughout the app. If I press cancel on the exit form that data is lost from the main form and cannot be used afterwards. So if the user pressed by mistake the X btn and then presses cancel on the exit form the application loses some stored data and many functions stop working.

View 1 Repliesthe application I am developing does not exit completely. i.e. the process can be seen in the Task manager. This happens only when I click on the [X] button on the title bar of the window of my MDI form. If I use the File >> Exit in the menu of my application, it exits without leaving any traces. I have used the "End" method there. But the process stays when I click the [X] on the control box on the title bar.
