Windows shutdown trigger event in VB.NET App?

[Steve Lang]

Hi all,

I have a fairly simple VB.Net app in which I capture some data when the user
exits the application the "normal" way. However, I still want to capture the
same data when the application is closed when Windows shuts down, and in the
unlikely event that someone uses the Task Manager to end my process.

I am using a hidden form as the base with a system tray icon, so the
application doesn't sit in the taskbar and there is not usually a visible
form. When the user exits the app, they right click on the system tray icon
and select a menu command.

I am fairly new to .NET, so be gentle.

TIA and have a great day!

In addition to that, check out the 'SystemEvents' class.

Thanks Herfried.

I'll look it over and if I have problems, rest assured I won't hesitate to
ask the groupmind...
