You must exit the method (or call the Save() method you may have) after setting the e.Cancel = true. Now the application terminates not matter what, because Environment.Exit(0); always gets executed.

C#

if (MessageBox.Show("Do you want to save changes to your text?", "My Application",
  MessageBoxButtons.YesNo) == DialogResult.Yes)
{

    e.Cancel = true;

    // Do some stuff here

    return;
}
objS3Instance = null;
Environment.Exit(0);
