How can a cancel button stop the current operation and then close form

Rositsa Ruseva

I made a form for creating a new solution and a new version. There is a close button. I can't find a way how to do it. I need when the cancel button is clicked the operation to be stopped and the form to close

The Tread is not even starting. Always got an exception for missing object. Still trying to find a solution...

you can use
thread.Abort();
this.Close();

this.Close() only closes the form. The process is still going on. If I try with application.Exit() the whole application closes and I need only the form to be closed and the process on it to be stopped

The app will close when the main form is closed. You can try the following in your form's Cancel button event handler:

this.Close();

You can also set this. DialogResult property to false. The form will close as a result of this.
In any case, make sure your code is processing according to which button was used to close the form if you're also handling the Close event.

I would keep a module level boolean variable and check its value in the operations loop to be true or false and and depending on its value will run the operation. The operation would be in a different aynch thread. The cancle button will change the value of the variable to true and false being the default.
Let me know if this helps.
