Terminating an application

I have application A and B

Application A runs from its main() checks if B exists and if it does,
runs application B (which also strarts from its main()).

in task manager I can see A.exe and B.exe processes running

I would like to closse A either while B is running or when B closes
but when I close application B, application A still stays running in
Task Manager.

How do I close both of these applications?

Regards
D.

Both applications are part of the same solution

You could call 'WaitForExit' for the shelled app's 'Process' object and
then exit application A if the shelled application is terminated.

I'm new to C# and threading, so hopefully this is a simple newbie question.

When I run my form it seems to work fine, but when I close the form the thread is not being terminated and Task Manager shows the application process still...

I have written an application that lives in the systray but when I try to close windows or logout it does not close my application and therefore prevents windows from shutting down or logging me out. It is essential that I solve this problem but I have run out of ideas can anyone help (please!) The application starts in Start.cs which kicks off the Systray form using this call: Application.Run(new Systray());

Hi, I am creating a windows form, and when a specified event occurs (button click), I am hiding the windows form and opening a new windows form. When opening the new windows form and closing it, the main windows form would still be running in the background and never terminating. How can I terminate the old window form from the new created window. I hope someone out there understands my problem.

I have a C# Windows Service running as the NetworkService account because it needs to access a network share. As part of the service's initialization, I want the service to terminate, if an unrecoverable error occurs. When that case occurs, I create a ServiceController object and call the Stop() method. However - I get an exception thrown saying access denied. If I switch to using the LocalService account it works fine, but I lose...

Hi there, I have a third party dll that I need to initialize and terminate once and only once per application. By application I mean a physical exe and not the HTTP application. This is fine when I am creating a windows application as I can use the static void main function to do the initialization and termination. But my question is where would I do this in an ASP.NET web app. I tried the application_start and application_end events....

Right now I'm using exit(0) to terminate my program. My program is a console .exe application. After the "exit(0)" line of code is encountered, the console application waits for an enter press, before terminating. I want it to terminate completely without having to press enter manually. Anybody know what I might be missing here ?

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...

Let's talk about the concept of autonomous AI software engineers and no-code agents. These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers. The idea...
