Controlling the return value on a Vb.NET EXE

[DanTheManQ]

Is there a way to control the return value of an Executable Vb.NET or Vb 6.0, similar to C's exit() function?

I haven't tried this myself, but
here's a bunch of other people who have posed this
question and here's a link to that group..
Theres an ExitProcess method that you can use, but it has some side effects that are discussed here....

hope this gets you started...

The Main method of a Visual Basic .NET application can be one of the following four options:

• Sub Main()


• Sub Main(ByVal args() as String)


• Function Main() As Integer


• Function Main(ByVal args() as String) As Integer

If you define your Main method to return an integer (the third or fourth option above), the value that you return from Main will be the return value of the executable. For more information, see the MSDN article Structure of a Visual Basic Program.

Elton,

Thanks for your suggestion. I found the area in MSDN that disucusses this. I didn't think that Vb.net would use the same method as C... it was too obvious.

Thanks again
