How to kill the main thread?

Question

Strange issue. I kill the main thread, but when the program ends, it still processes the code after this.Close().

Any ideas on how to stop that?

MessageBox.Show("Servers overloaded. Exiting.");
this.Close();
//...other code that processes even after it closes...

Answer 1

Closing the window does not stop the thread.

You can use Environment.Exit to shutdown immediately.

Answer 2

Unlike ASP.Net's Response.End(), calling Close will not abort the thread.

You need to add return; after calling Close() to exit the method.
