Application is still running in memory after Application.Exit() is called

Question

Answer 1

It seems that this is a Windows ap and you are calling System.Windows.Forms.Application.Exit() but there is a thread still running in the background. Have you tried

Application.ExitThread();

Environment.Exit();

You could kill the process as Jonesy mentioned, passing in the process ID of the process if it is a separate application than the current running process.

For that, you need to use the System.Diagnostics.Process namespace and loop through the currently running processes to get the right pid and then call kill on that pid.
