Command to close an application of console?

Question

I need to close the console when the user selects a menu option.

I tried using close() but it did not work..

how can I do this?

Answer 1

Environment.Exit and Application.Exit

Environment.Exit(0) is cleaner.

Answer 2

By close, do you mean you want the current instance of the console app to close, or do you want the application process, to terminate? Missed that all important exit code:

Environment.Exit(0); 

Or to close the current instance of the form:

this.Close();
