Me.Close

[rbharris]

My application isn't closing as inteneded. There are a couple of areas in the program that when an exception occurrs I want the program to close. But there is more to it than me.close. The form doesn't actually close unless a certain variable is true.
So
Upon me.close() the Form1_FormClosing event is fired.

Private Sub Form1_FormClosing(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.FormClosingEventArgs) Handles Me.FormClosing
If doCloseApp = False Then
e.Cancel = True
Me.Visible = False
Else
e.Cancel = False   'Here is where I would think the app would terminate
End If
End Sub

During debug I watch it go straight to e.Cancel = False , back the calling sub procedure and it continues to execute the code. I don't understand.

have you tried commenting the else and e.cancel = false lines out and then trying it?

No, I haven't but I will. Thanks.

Execution doesn't stop at a call to Me.Close. If there is any code after Me.Close it will still be executed.
