Question

I have an application that opens like this: (Program.cs)

        Main MainForm = new Main();
        Application.Run();

if the user does not specify /hide option, then the program shows like this:
(Main.cs)

internal Main()
{
    InitializeComponent();
    this.Show();
}

Sometime, the program needs to close immediatly if a file does not exist. So I close it like this: (Main.cs)

private void MainLoad(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    if (!File.exist("FilePath")
        this.Close();
}

on FormClosed, I have this:

Application.ExitThread();

This destoy’s almost everything from the application, including the Taskbar icon. However, on Visual Studio, the program is still “Running” until I click “Stop Debugging”.
Anyone has any idea why this is happening ?

Objective: I want to start the program minimized(No Flash screen shown) if the user specify /hide argument.
The program will automatically close if a certain file is not found.

Answer 1

Instead of this.Close();, try using Environment.Exit();
