How about something like this:

public partial class Form1 : Form
{
    private static Timer _timer = new Timer();

    public Form1()
    {
        InitializeComponent();
        _timer.Tick += _timer_Tick;
        _timer.Interval = 5000; // 5 seconds
        _timer.Start();            
    }

    void _timer_Tick(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        // Exit the App here ....
        Application.Exit();
    }
}
