Closing applications gracefully

[Lost User]

Hi all I have a windows application that connects to a webservice. While the app is busy connecting to the webservice the network might be down, so the app kinda hangs while trying to connect to the webservice and I would like to be able to close the app but I'm unable cause the window doesn't respond to the mouse clicks. If there's any way to close the app gracefully, it would be nice. Thanks

You'd need to use threads or asynchronous web service calls then. I'd prefer the latter. The code will look like

public void CallWebService_ButtonClick(...)
{
new MethodInvoker(CallWebService).BeginInvoke(callback, ...);
}

private void CallWebService()
{
// Do the actual operation here
}

Just make sure that the UI updates you do from within CallWebService or from within the callback use Control.Invoke or Control.BeginInvoke[^]. Regards Senthil _____________________________ My Blog | My Articles | WinMacro
