application not closed properly

[wanwan]

I have a few programs written that can't be closed completely.

I click on the 'x' and the form closes, but the program still shows
in task manager. I tried using Application.exit() in form_closing
event and it didn't work.

any suggestion please

Are they your apps in Process list or do you create MS Office objects too
that aren't closing?

Are you using threading?

If there are threads running you have to close them all properly.

Maybe you have a socket open?

Make sure you hae something like

Socket.close()
Thread.abort()

before you close your app.
