How to Exit an application properly on ErrorI have the following code...
Try da.Fill(ds,"myset") Catch exc as exception Msgbox("Check Connection string Info") Ffrm.Dispose() Application.Exit() Exit Sub EndTry I noticed that the Application.Exit() alone did not exit the Sub Procedure... so I added the Exit Sub. Why doesn't Application.Exit() alone work ? Thanks! Hello,
You could try End. You can also set all forms and classes to Nothing myForm = Nothing And then call End. I think Application.Exit waits for the message queue to finish proccessing... Maybe that is why it did not exit immediately. Regards Cyril Gupta End works...
Regarding... "You can also set all forms and classes to Nothing" Is there some generic code that one can run that will loop thru all "open" objects and sets them to nothing ? Thanks !

Instead, you may want to call the main form's 'Close' method and/or the forms' 'Close' methods. -- M S Herfried K.

coding practice you should use End sparingly and only when you need and can terminate immediatly ( normally you can`t , that is why it is bad coding practice :-) http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/vblr7/html/vastmend.asp The right way to end an application is to clean / interupt the calling chain regards Michel Posseth [MCP] Show quoteHide quote "Rob" <rwch***@comcast.net> wrote in message news:lpednexIAaMjvlTeRVn-jw@comcast.com... > End works... > > Regarding...

So my question kind of still remains... before using an "End" or even "Exit Sub".... Is there some generic code that will loop thru all "open" objects and clean them up ?

Not that i know of ,,,, however it shouldn`t be necesary to do so cleaning up the base object should result in the disposing of evenntuall satelites if you need to use End to stop an app this means that something is wrong in your apps design regards Michel Posseth [MCP] Show quoteHide quote "Rob" <rwch***@comcast.net> wrote in message news:HdudncbvyriIqVTeRVn-vg@comcast.com... > Thanks Michel, > > So my question kind of still remains... before using an "End" or even > "Exit Sub".... > > Is there some generic code that will loop thru all "open" > objects and clean them up ? > > > > "m.posseth" <mich***@nohausystems.nl> wrote in message > news:%2399oynSGGHA.648@TK2MSFTNGP14.phx.gbl... >> Using end to just end the lifecycle of an application is considered bad >> coding practice >> >> you should use End sparingly and only when you need and can terminate >> immediatly ( normally you can`t , that is why it is bad coding practice >> :-) >> >> http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/vblr7/html/vastmend.asp >> >> The right way to end an application is to clean / interupt the calling >> chain >> >> >> >> regards >> >> Michel Posseth [MCP] >> >> >> >> "Rob" <rwch***@comcast.net> wrote in message >> news:lpednexIAaMjvlTeRVn-jw@comcast.com... >>> End works... >>> >>> Regarding...

object / stored proc... If the connection string is bad (held in the config file) OR a stored proc is missing (the one you are calling)... then for all intents and purposes my program may as well shut down... Do I only need to dispose of the Form ? what about any connections ? other varibales ? What is left over as a "problem" if the application just "Ends" at this point ?
