No, I have 1.1 SP 1 installed at the moment. I have tried calling
"Application.Exit" to no avail. I'm guessing one of the folder browser
controls is running a thread that is refusing to die - err, I don't think
it's an out of process control, although it might be. Anyway. For what
reason I don't know - this is totally unacceptable because it leaves my
program around in memory! Agh!
Interestingly though, try this and see if it does the same for you - I
created a tiny noddy application with one button on a form. When you don't
click the button and exit, the process leaves memory, when you click the
button and show a folder browser dialog, then exit the dialog and then exit
the program, it stays in memory (on my PC at least). What gives!?
