As far as I know both should be avoided unless you have a specific
reason to use it. In most cases closing the forms will exit the
program. Why are you trying to use either?

chris

My understating is by calling the above statements will close the
application properly. Like releasing all the resources.... etc.

That is the reason why I am calling the above statements.

Both will release resources, but custom cleanup code may not be executed!
Could you describe the design of your application in more detail and where
you are calling 'End'/'Application.Exit'?

If the .Net version of 'End' works anything like the VB6 version, use
anything else. In VB6, sure, it stops the app but in a way that's similar to
shutting your car off while driving. iow, it "yanks the plug" on the app,
possibly leaving automation objects hanging around waiting for task manager
intervention.

Please keep all discussions in the groups..

What do you do if you start you application from a sub main and open a form
within sub main?

Application is basically gets the data from the database and prints in a
particualr format. When the user clicks the "Exit" button or "X" on the
right top of the windows form, the application will close.
Thank you,

You close the form (Unload Me).

Simply call 'Me.Close()' inside the form instead of calling 'End' or
'Application.Exit'.

Pete,

In C# (and other languages) is used a Shared Sub Main as starting point of a
program

In VB Net as in VB6 you have the choise between using that Sub Main or using
the inbuild one in your main-form. (Herfried uses forever that Sub Main in
his samples, I use forever that MainForm (form1).

You would never use End for the reason as Ken Halter has explained.

With a Sub Main you would use
application.exit

With a mainform you would use
me.close

I hope this helps,

Cor
