Implements

_AppDomain..::.ProcessExit

The EventHandler for this event can perform termination activities, such as closing files, releasing storage and so on, before the process ends.

In the .NET Framework version 2.0, this event is raised in each application domain that registers an event handler.

NoteNote:

The total execution time of all ProcessExit event handlers is limited, just as the total execution time of all finalizers is limited at process shutdown. The default is three seconds, which can be overridden by an unmanaged host.

In the .NET Framework versions 1.0 and 1.1, this event is raised only in the default application domain, and only if an event handler is registered in the default application domain.

To register an event handler for this event, you must have the required permissions, or a SecurityException is thrown.

For more information about handling events, see Consuming Events.

How to change the time allowed for exit handlers?      hhampa   |   Edit   |   Show History
How to change the time allowed for the event handler for ProcessExit? The documentation above states it is 3 secs by default and that it can be changed. But there are no links to any documentation that shows how to accomplish this. Searching the internet so far has not resulted in anything concrete.
