WPF application is not closing correctly

Question

Hi, I am calling Application.Current.Shutdown method from class that is binded to xaml windows with objectdataprovider, but the application is not closing, can anyone help me to understand why? And i note that my application is not closing completely after my main window is closed, it doesn't disappear from task manager's process list. Thanks a lot.

Answer 1

Have you created any threads to do background processing? If you have, make sure to set the .IsBackground property on them, or they can keep the app running

Answer 2

If you have multiple windows or dialogs in your application, you may need to close each one explicitly.

Close dialogs with:

_myDialog.Close();

Close all windows:

for(int i = 0; i < Application.Current.Windows.Count; i++)
{
    Application.Current.Windows[i].Close();
}

Answer 3

Envirement.Exit(0) closes the application anyway

Answer 4

Don't forget to add this:

private void Window_Closed(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
  Application.Current.Shutdown();
}

Hope this helps.
