i have program in which i start a few threads. when i run Application.Exit() the application seems to be finished but when i look in task manager its still there.
is there some cleanup code i need to use in order to stop all threads and terminate the program
cheers,
GAR!
Found the soulution on another message board
Each thread has a property "isBackgroundThread".
By default this property is 'false'
If you set it to 'true' then the threads will die when the parent thread is killed.
another problem was that i was using win32 api to access the com port and i never closed the com ports.....
Thanks for sharing about the background thread flag. I just started using threads, but in my case the program shouldn't close until a specific set of data is processed... though it might not clean up if the program was terminated before the thread function returned... hmm... I need to take a closer look at that.
