How To: Close application during Start Up (VB.net)

[Mr. B]

VB.net 2003 (standard)

In my application, within FORM1_LOAD, I check for various things (ie valide
user names, files, etc.). What I want to do is upon an event such as "No
Valide User Name Found" to pop up a warning message about the event and then
close the application.

I can do everything I want with the exception of a clean shut down during the
Form1_Load.

Back in VB6, I did this by:

Unload Me
Exit Sub

How do I do this in VB.net? I tried "Unload.Me" but it returns an error as
the application continues to try to run.

I'm sure it's a simple thing... but I've not found any reference to this in
all my books.

Regards,

Bruce

Application.Run(New MainForm())

In the project properties, select 'Sub Main' as startup object.

Form.Close() ?

I'd use Herfried's method. But if you absolutely have to load the form
first to check your validations, then you can use Me.Close() and/or
Application.Exit() to abandon loading.

Good point! Thank you!
