Returning an error code from a console application.

[Grant Smith]

OK... I need a simple way to throw an error code to the operating system
in a VB.NET Console application. Return is not allowed.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Will System.Environment.ExitCode do what you need?

I'm not sure what you're getting at with this. I see the question that
was posed but I see no answers.

Thanks, though.

Google Groups is your friend. Although I HATE it's new format. Sometime I
find it hard to link to correctly myself. Try this link...

Ah.... Now it makes more sense... LOL. Pretty much the same advice you gave.

For anyone who is interested, there is also a
System.Environment.Exit(arg) that works as well only it exits the
application entirely when it is run.

Thanks again,
