Exit Methods in C# Application

The Environment.Exit() method terminates the process and returns an exit code to the operating system −

Use exitCode as 0 (zero) to show that the process completed successfully.

Use exitCode as a non-zero number to show an error, for example −

  • Environment.Exit(1) − Return a value 1 to show that the file you want is not present

  • Environment.Exit(2) − Return a value 2 to indicate that the file is in an incorrect format.
