Windows Forms - .Net 8.0

[adsilva]

A Windows Forms form does not have the event Unload, like VB6. What one acts like?

In my experience, Windows Forms doesn’t have the Unload event like VB6. Instead, I use the FormClosing or FormClosed events depending on what I need. FormClosing fires before the form actually closes, letting me cancel the close or do cleanup, while FormClosed happens after the form is gone, useful for finalizing resources. I often rely on FormClosing because it closely mimics VB6’s Unload behavior.

You are right, Windows Forms does not have the old VB6 unload event. The closest equivalent is the form.closing or form.formclosin g event.
