C# newbie!
I need to exit my program as soon as it starts if certain conditions are not met.
I know what the conditions I want to verify but not what event to respond to or how to exit the program.
Thanks In Advance

Application.Exit() should work for you.

It's what I use to get out of Dodge.

This is what I did, it looks good so far

C#

static void Main()
        {
            
            if (AllGood)
            {
                MessageBox.Show("Bye);
            }
            else
            {
                Application.EnableVisualStyles();
                Application.SetCompatibleTextRenderingDefault(false);
                Application.Run(new Form1());
            }
        }

Solution 1

I'm assuming this is a WinForms app?

If you can measure those conditions external to you main window, then open up program.cs and test there. Don't launch the form if you're not happy with the environment.

Cheers.
