C# force close application

Hello guys/girls,

I am facing a really odd situation with c# console application...
The app I got uses some 3rd party component, that I don't have a control of. The only thing I know this 3rd party component fires 3 sub processes which run in their environment.
Everything is fine and run as expected, but the problem is that this 3rd party component has issues closing the processes/sub-processes and my console application does not close when it finishes performing work.
I've tried adding

C#

Environment.Exit(0)

at the end, but the console remains running and in the task manager I can see 3 processes of the same name (console app name). So after a while, when I connect to our working machine I can see tons of unclosed console windows that basically do nothing and just sit with RAM occupied.
But - when I click "X" in console window - it closes fine together with these "bogus" sub-processes without any problems...
Anyone know how could I programatically invoke "X" (close) event on the console application or close it in some guaranteed way?

Thanks!

What I have tried:

Tried calling "Environment.Exit(0)"

works quiet well when I try to kill the process. But then the subprocesses exception out something. I assume this is a problem with the subprocess somewhere....
thanks!
