Good day,
We have a VS2005 C# Console Application and are trying to detect the user closing by hitting the X button in the top right corner of the app. As you can see by the following code, we have tried hooking up a variety of event handlers, but in all cases the event handler never gets called. What are we missing
Thanks in advance...
static void Main(string[] args)
{
// get notification of close AppDomain.CurrentDomain.ProcessExit += new EventHandler(CurrentDomain_ProcessExit); //Application.ThreadExit += new EventHandler(Application_ThreadExit); //Application.ApplicationExit += new EventHandler(Application_ApplicationExit); //Process.GetCurrentProcess().EnableRaisingEvents = true; //Process.GetCurrentProcess().Exited += new EventHandler(CurrentProcessExited);// keep console alive until user hits X button while (true)
{
}
}
static void CurrentDomain_ProcessExit(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
// cleanup/shutdown int i = 0;i++;
}

Thanks for the feedback Brendan.
I had found the same article and based my attempt to use Process.Exited on it. A couple of questions:
Is there a managed .NET way to do this without dll import
How does one turn on the Windows message pump for a console app and what are the implications
Thanks again...

Add Application.Run() to your console application, which is really the main difference between a console app and a winform. Note there are threading issues to deal with...check out a similar question I had and the response concerning Application Run.
