[Solved] Diagnostics and ExitException

[prog1]

I am using an ExitException within my application to quit it easy if the user has chosen this option.
Unfotunately I can not get it work with RadDiagnostics and I do not know why.

// Initialize
radDiagnostics = new RadDiagnostics();
            radDiagnostics.EmailTo = AppResources.SupportEmail;
            radDiagnostics.ApplicationName = AppResources.AppTitle;
            radDiagnostics.ApplicationVersion = AppResources.Version;
            radDiagnostics.EmailSubject = AppResources.AppTitle + " " + AppResources.Version + " " + AppResources.Error;
            radDiagnostics.HandleUnhandledException = true;
            radDiagnostics.Init();
            radDiagnostics.ExceptionOccurred += new EventHandler<ExceptionOccurredEventArgs>(RadDiagnostics_ExceptionOccurred);

// Handle
private void RadDiagnostics_ExceptionOccurred(object sender, ExceptionOccurredEventArgs e)
        {
            if (e.Exception is ExitException == true)
            {
                e.Cancel = true;
                e.Handled = false;
                return;
            }
            else
            {
                e.Handled = true;
            }
        }

The app will not be closed after ExitException has occured.

// By now
private void Application_UnhandledException(object sender, ApplicationUnhandledExceptionEventArgs e)
        {
            if (e.ExceptionObject is ExitException)
                return;

           // Handle error if it is not an ExitException
           // Create Mail for example
            e.Handled = true;
        }

This works well at the moment.

Hi Fabian,

Thank you for contacting us.

First, I'd like to let you know that it is not recommended to exit a WP7 application, except when the user presses the BackKey when on the MainPage. However, if you still want to throw an exception to exit the application you can do this while handling your ExitException.

private void RadDiagnostics_ExceptionOccurred(object sender, ExceptionOccurredEventArgs e)
{
    if (e.Exception is ExitException)
    {
        throw new Exception();
    }
}

This way the exception will not be handled by RadDiagnostics and the application will quit.

I hope this information helps. Let me know if you have additional questions.

All the best,

Hi Todor,

thank you for the fast reply. Your solution is working.

I know that it is not recommended, but if you take a look at my app you will know why I need this.

Hi Fabian,

Another way to termine your app is to call Application.Current.Terminate().

Hi Victor,

thank you. Did not know that, yet.
But this is just for Windows Phone 8, isn't it?

Kind regards,

Hi Fabian,

Yes, this appears to only be available in WP8.
