How to close a project (?)

[Guest]

I have seen several times when I close a vb application, even though it seems
to be closed when I go to the task manager the process of that EXE is still
running. How do I make sure that my app will close completely.

Thanks,

You have to find out what resource is being held that is not letting the app
completely exit.

Are you leaving a thread running?

Do you have aform hidden that is not closing before you exit?

If you are using additional threads, set their 'IsBackground' property to
'True'. Otherwise you will have to terminate the threads explicitly.
