Console application not closing

Question

I\'m developing a console application that is supposed to run under WinCE 6.0 and WinCE 7.0. I\'m using C#, Compact Fra

Answer 1

Try calling Application.Exit

This works in windowed applications, and may force the console window to close.

Answer 2

Are you putting you .exe file in Arguments property of ProcessStartInfo ? If you must do that, I believe that you're using CMD in FileName property, so you must use /K before your .exe name. Or just put in FileName the .exe path. You can clarify a lot if you put the code that calls your application.

Answer 3

Try this:

Tools > Options > Debugging > Automatically Close the Console When Debugging Stops

Answer 4

try this code:

Environment.Exit(0);

Answer 5

I had exactly the same problem. Running console app on Beckhoff PLC which never closed.

Instead of creating Console app I created Windows App. My code stayed the same as for console app. I just commented out:

// Application.Run(new Form1());

Seems now codes run without opening a form.
