Question

Is it possible to prevent MainForm from loading fully during the process of starting up an application (not sure how its called, Component Initialization maybe)?

I’ve tried:

public MainForm()
{
    if (true)
    {
        Application.Exit();
        return;
    }
    InitializeComponent();
}

and

public MainForm()
{
    if (true)
    {
        this.Close();
        Application.Exit();
        return;
    }
    InitializeComponent();
}

and without “return;” as well.

The first one does actually nothing, while the second solution throws up an “Cannot access a disposed object.” error?

Is it even possible to close whole Application before its fully loaded?

Just to make it clear I want to prevent application from loading in case of database connection issue.

Try Environment.Exit as described here.
