Hi All,

I've got a Windows Forms app that I want to return an error code to the caller
- it's a utility in a larger build process and I need to aboort the build if
the utility fails.

I've tried Environment.Exit(<code>) but I only ever get 0x00 returned for any
number tried. Can't see any other way of doing this - surely it must be
possible somehow?

Cheers
Anthony

Check the return value outside the IDE... Your code should work, but the
IDE does not get the right exit code for some reason.

Bizarre! I'll give that a try,

Thanks
