c# console wont close after program ends

Tags:

c#

.net

I have c# application that I am running, and then in some point application throws an error which is then catched, then app should end. And it ends, but console windows stays open...

I even checked in windows task manager, under applications tab, there is listed my console, but when I click go to process, there is no process of that application.

Thats weird... Application ended, process ended, but console stays on? How can I kill that console?

Edit: my code:

static class Program
    {
        static void Main()
        {
            try
            {
                //bunch of static methods from other static classes are being invoked

                Setup.Driver.Close();//another static method
            }
            catch (Exception)
            {
                Setup.Driver.Close();
            }
        }
    }

Second edit: Note: Process.Getprocess().Kill(), Application.Exit(), Environment.Exit() are not working for me, in windows task manager, there is no process left to kill, only console stays open!

Environment.Exit(0);

or

this.Close();

If you have threads running, you can try this brute force method before you call Exit:

using System.Diagnostics;

ProcessThreadCollection currentThreads = Process.GetCurrentProcess().Threads;

foreach (var thread in currentThreads)
{
   thread.Interupt(); // If thread is waiting, stop waiting

   // or

   thread.Abort(); // Terminate thread immediately 

  // or

   thread.IsBackGround = true;
}

Environment.Exit and Application.Exit

Environment.Exit() is cleaner.
