Question

I need certain criteria to be met, a particular folder needs to be present on the c drive, before this app should load. How, during the load process, can I stop/quit the application.

I already have ascertained if the folder exists. In old VB projects you would just use ‘Unload Me’ but that isn’t in C#. I tried Application.Exit() but that doesn’t work under these circumstances and the app still loads, how do I stop it?

Answer 1

Open up Program.cs. In there you’ll find you Main() method.

In there, put something like:

if (FolderDoesNotExist())
    return ERROR_FOLDER_NOT_EXIST;

(replacing those symbolic names with other stuff as appropriate).
