Shutting down program from a constructor

[aewarnick]

How can I shut my program down while loading? I tried

this.Close();
and
Application.Exit();

but, they did nothing.

A constructor isnt a very good place to put something like this. If youre instantiating a class, it implies that you want to go all the way through instantiating it.

You can probably close the application in the forms Load event, which will be called just after the constructor executes. Failing that, close the application in your Main function, before the form even gets instantiated.

It works fine in Load(). Thank you divil.
