Question Process still running after application is closed.

[jrhbright]

This is my first application I have written in vb.net, having learnt to program in VBA and vb5 - so go easy.

I have written a program which involves a BackgroundWorker and a NotifyIcon.

I have 'disabled' the close button by using the following code:

Private Sub Form1_FormClosing(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As FormClosingEventArgs) Handles Me.FormClosing
        Me.WindowState = FormWindowState.Minimized
        Me.Visible = False
        e.Cancel = True
    End Sub

and then in a context menu item on the notifyicon I have code where the application really closes.

I have tried a whole host of things to get the application to fully exit, but the process is still running in task manager. I believe it might have something to do with the BackgroundWorker, and you can see my attempts below to stop it:

    Private Sub MenuItem2_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MenuItem2.Click
        NotifyIcon1.Dispose()
        Application.DoEvents()
        BackgroundWorker1.CancelAsync()
        BackgroundWorker1.Dispose()
        Me.Close()
        Application.Exit()
    End Sub

Any advice would be gratefully received.
