How to use Application.Exit Event in WPF?
c#, events, exit, wpf
Solution
It's quite simple:
Add "Exit" property to the application tag
<Application x:Class="WpfApplication4.App"
xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
StartupUri="MainWindow.xaml"
Exit="Application_Exit">
</Application>
and handle it in the "code behind"
private void Application_Exit(object sender, ExitEventArgs e)
{
// Perform tasks at application exit
}
The Exit event is fired when the application is shutting down or the Windows session is ending. It is fired after the SessionEnding event. You cannot cancel the Exit event.
Problem
I need to delete some certain files, then user closes program in WPF. So I tried MDSN code from here http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.windows.application.exit.aspx this way: this code located here `App.xml.cs` ``` public partial class App : Application { void App_Exit(object sender, ExitEventArgs e) { MessageBox.Show("File deleted"); var systemPath = System.Environment.GetFolderPath( Environment.SpecialFolder.CommonApplicationData); var _directoryName1 = Path.Combine(systemPath, "RadiolocationQ"); var temp_file = Path.Combine(_directoryName1, "temp.ini"); if (File.Exists(temp1_file)) { File.Delete(temp1_file); } } } // App.xaml <Application x:Class="ModernUIApp1.App" xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation" xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml" StartupUri="MainWindow.xaml" ShutdownMode="OnExplicitShutdown" Exit="App_Exit"> <Application.Resources> ``` First of all it doesn't delete files, secondly this program stays in the process after I pushed exit button( this is really strange). This code don't give any errors. And finally it doesn't show `MessageBox` So anything wrong here? I think he just can`t find this function.
