Form closing problem

[persianboy]

when i click close in my program , it takes some 30-40 seconds before it closes ( the program is close but vb still shows the program in running mode ) , is that something normal for big programs or its a result of bad programming? what should i do?!

Do you have any finalization code under Close button ? and also what's the nature of your proj ? I mean does it do some kind of graphics stuff and are there many controls on it ?

[persianboy]

allot of controls, and its a client/server program, uses tcpclient,tcpserver ! when the client connents i have no problem , when the client side program is closing , i close the tcpclient object, but it still stays open for a while ( when server is closed , clients closes exactly the same moment ) , how are these two still connected when i closed the connection?!

Maybe you could try Kill function !! and btw , did you use Application.Exit to close your app or you just use End ?

[persianboy]

i dispose every object thats using computer resources , then just close , whats does application.exit do more ?

From MS Help File :

Informs all message pumps that they must terminate, and then closes all application windows after the messages have been processed

This method stops all running message loops on all threads and closes all windows of the application. This method does not force the application to exit. The Exit method is typically called from within a message loop, and forces Run to return. To exit a message loop for the current thread only, call ExitThread.
