C# WinApp: AppDomain Unhandled Exception, handler does not force to close app

[Shashi Sadasivan]

Hi all,
I have got my windows app to handled any UI or unhandled exceptions.

following is the code

static class Program
    {
        /// <summary>
        /// The main entry point for the application.
        /// </summary>
        [STAThread]
        static void Main()
        {
            Application.EnableVisualStyles();
            Application.SetCompatibleTextRenderingDefault(false);
            Application.ThreadException += new System.Threading.ThreadExceptionEventHandler(Application_ThreadException);
 
            Application.SetUnhandledExceptionMode(UnhandledExceptionMode.CatchException);
            AppDomain.CurrentDomain.UnhandledException += new UnhandledExceptionEventHandler(CurrentDomain_UnhandledException);
 
            //try
            //{
                Application.Run(new frmMainRibbon());
 
                //Application.Run(new Login.frmMain());
            //}
            //catch (Exception ex)
            //{
            //    MessageBox.Show("Error: " + ex.Message, "Error");
            //}
        }
 
        static void CurrentDomain_UnhandledException(object sender, UnhandledExceptionEventArgs e)
        {
            DialogResult dr = MessageBox.Show("Exception Occoured - unhandled : \n" + ((Exception)e.ExceptionObject).Message + "\nDo You want to report this problem?", "Application Error", MessageBoxButtons.YesNo, MessageBoxIcon.Exclamation);
 
            if (dr == DialogResult.Yes)
            {
 
            }
 
        }
        static void Application_ThreadException(object sender, System.Threading.ThreadExceptionEventArgs e)
        {
            DialogResult dr = MessageBox.Show(e.Exception.Message + "\nDo You want to report this problem?", "Application Error", MessageBoxButtons.YesNo, MessageBoxIcon.Exclamation);
 
            if (dr == DialogResult.Yes)
            {
 
            }
        }
    }

So what i did was since i did not handle an sql exception (when the database is not online) its supposed to be handled by CurrentDomain_U nhandledExcepti on

It works fine and the dialog is shown. However when the dialog is closed, the application is not forced to shut (even if i explicitly state Application.Clo se())
After the dialog box is closed by the user, windows shows the message that the application has closed unexpectedly and is looking for a resolution to this problem. Which only means that the application gave an error code to windows which is making windows look into its own solution site.

Any suggestions on how to avoid this?

thanks

Update:
In the CurrentDomain_U nhandledExcepti on i tried Application.Exi t();
However that did not change anything and windows still wanted to check for a solution.

I then used Environment.Exi t(-1); and that was a solution. (it worked)

However, I have no idea about the exit codes. All i know that 0 is supposed to be a failure and 1 as a success (from my C days)
but changing this exit code dose not affect anything (even with a -1, 0 or 1) windows dosent do anything. So whats a valid exit code?
