Ending an app programmatically

[Schemer]

Hello,

I have a C# test app that I want to terminate after it has executed the
functions being tested.
Where is the best place to do this, and how?

static void Main()
{
Application.Run(new Form1());
}

Once the Form1 constructor returns, the app is running in the message loop.
Adding Application.Exit() to the constructor doesn't seem to work, either.
Is there a way to send a message like WM_QUIT to the app, from the form's
constructor?
TIA.

static void Main()
{
Form1 form1 = new Form1();
form1.Show();
}

 

[Schemer]

static void Main()

{
Form1 form1 = new Form1();
form1.Show();
}

Thanks.

Hello Schemer,

Bad Schemer, Bad.

You don't want a forms application if you arent really going to use a form..

Just call yer testes from Main() and let it fall out on it's own. No need
for a form at all.

Additionally, if this is just a test routine, why not plug it into NUnit.
That way it can be ready for regression testing when (not if) the need arises.

Hi Schemer,

Thanks for your post!

For executing a test function and exit, I do not think a winform
application is required in this scenario. Creating GUI windows is a
time-consuming task which costs a lot of CPU cycles. Does a console type
application meet your need? Anyway, if your application really need the GUI
form, please feel free to go ahead.

I also recommend you to take Jim Wooley's reply a look, which provides you
NUnit for testing purpose.

Thanks.

Best regards,
Jeffrey Tan
