How to close application after startup?

Donald Palmer

Several applications I have done for work needed to read a config.xml file for COM ports used by the application. I use to read this file in the Form constructor. Now I use the following, but I have not found the proper way to close the application if there is a problem (like no "config.xml" file or equipment the COM port connected not on causing that COM port to be invalid).

Thanks in advance for any ideas. There must be a proper way to read an applications configuration data (without user action) and close the application if needed.Donald

What kind of application is it? You can check any startup events like Form load or app startup and exit the app.
