Shutting down program from a constructor

[aewarnick]

How can I shut my program down while loading? I tried

 

this.Close();

and

Application.Exit();

 

but, they did nothing.

A constructor isn't a very good place to put something like this. If you're instantiating a class, it implies that you want to go all the way through instantiating it.

 

You can probably close the application in the form's Load event, which will be called just after the constructor executes. Failing that, close the application in your Main function, before the form even gets instantiated.

It works fine in Load(). Thank you divil.
