Returning an error code from a console application.

[Grant Smith]

OK... I need a simple way to throw an error code to the operating system
in a VB.NET Console application. Return is not allowed.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Re: Returning an error code from a console application.

Will System.Environm ent.ExitCode do what you need?

Works like a charm, Greg.

Thanks for the advice.

I'm not sure what you're getting at with this. I see the question that
was posed but I see no answers.

Thanks, though.

Google Groups is your friend. Although I HATE it's new format. Sometime I
find it hard to link to correctly myself. Try this link...

Ah.... Now it makes more sense... LOL. Pretty much the same advice you gave.

For anyone who is interested, there is also a
System.Environm ent.Exit(arg) that works as well only it exits the
application entirely when it is run.

Thanks again,
