What's the preferred way of exiting a command line program?

Question

This should be straightforward. I just need to simply exit my commandline c# program - no fancy stuff.

Should I use

Environment.Exit();

or

this.Close();

or something else?

Answer 1

just return from the Main method.

Edit:

if you really have lost the flow and want to exit from anywhere in the application (like inside any method called by Main), you can use:

Environment.Exit(0);

remember that normally you should return 0 to the calling process (OS) when everything went fine and you return a non zero value if an error happened and execution did not go as smooth as should have been.
