Immediately close a application

[Josch]

the me.close function does not close immediately. How can i do it ?

What do you mean? Are you wanting the .NET equivelent to VB 6's END function? If so I believe its Application.Exit.

I'm having the same issue here. Here's the problem:

Open a form using the .ShowDialog method
During initialization I do some Try/Catch processing when handling data connections. In the event of an exception, I want to show the error and immediately close the form like this:

Try
    ' Do some risky stuff here
Catch
    ' Show error message
    MyBase.Close()
End Try

Unfortunately the Close() call does absolutely nothing...

The intent is not to bail completely out of the app, just terminate the offending form.

fwiw, the MyBase.Close() fails outside of a Try/Catch as well... that's not the problem.

Wouldn't Me.Close work in your case KHolden?

No, Me.Close() in this instance is equivalent to MyBase.Close().

For the sake of completeness I had also tried Me.Close() but this too did not close the dialog...
