I have the following code in form1 and when the application starts this sub
is called to check for a path if not found a message box is displayed and
then gives the user an option to end the application but when this option is
selected the application does not end but continues to the next line of code
which tries to setup a filewatcher with the path which does not exist, which
then gives an error. please help.
Public Sub Check_For_Dir()
Dim MyPath, MyName As String
Dim Count As Integer
Dim Result As DialogResult
Count = 0
MyPath = FilePath ' Set the path.
MyName = Dir(MyPath, FileAttribute.D irectory) ' Retrieve the first entry.
Do While Count <> 10000
If MyName = "" Then ' Start the loop.
Count = Count + 1
MyName = Dir(MyPath, FileAttribute.D irectory) 'Check again
Else
Exit Do
End If
Loop
If Count = 10000 Then
'Displays Message
Result = MessageBox.Show ("Path " + FilePath + " not available, press Yes to
try again or No to Exit.", "Error", MessageBoxButto ns.YesNo)

'Run Sub again

Are you calling your Check_For_Dir() Sub from within the Sub New by any
chance? If so, Application.Exi t won't work.

Mike,
I changed your code a little in this snippet bellow, your code looks a
little bit outdated with declaring all variables in top and than using the
do while where an for index is very simple to use.
\\\
For i As Integer = 0 To 9999
If MessageBox.Show ("Path", "Error", _
MessageBoxButto ns.YesNo) = DialogResult.Ye s Then
'do your stuff
Else
Me.Close()
Exit Sub
End If
Next
///
(As extra advice, paste next time your code in a notebook first and copy it
back and then into the message will give you probably more answers, than it
will be more readable, now it is difficult to get a quick overview)
I hope this helps?

1. Use a sub main that calls Application.Run if you find all your files.
This avoids the need to use Applciation.Exi t.

I am trying to close my application using Application.exit() in the
frmMain_Closing event. When the form closes the process does not. My
application only has one form (no other classes either). The form has
a really long loop which generates approx. 700 .csv files. I do not create
any threads myself (Application.exitthread() doesn't work either).
To counteract this I have decided to use the Environment.exit(-1)
method instead.

How does one launch multiple forms in an application?
Using Photoshop as an example, this application seems to be composed of many

selected form. Also note that this example implies the various forms can

Hi,
I have a problem with Application.Run() when Windows is shutting down.
Please have a look at the copy&paste example program below.
The application has no forms. It has only got a notify icon in the
system tray and it uses Application.Run() to keep the message loop
running. When the user clicks the icon, the application should shut down
and exit. So far that works fine.
