C# Program Form Closes But Still Is Listed In "Task Manager"

Hi,

I have a C# program that I run on my computer and it works fine. I minimize the program to the taskbar, and I usually step away from my computer as the program runs.

However, when I return to my computer the program form closes on me and isn't listed in the taskbar anymore, but I can still see the *.exe running in the "task manager". It looks like the program is still running fine from the "task manager" but since the form is closed I can't tell how much progress the program has made...

1. Has anyone ever experienced this before with a C# or any other program?
2. Does anyone know why this happens?
3. Is there a way I can open the program again from the current *.exe that is still running?

Thank you,

I can't say that I've seen this before, but to bring up the running window try right clicking on the program in the task manager and selecting "switch to". I don't know how long your code is, but If you could post it, that would help us to see why this could be happening.

It sounds to me like your application is crashing. I usually make a habit of addressing these sorts of bugs before deploying, but I have had that same sort of thing happen when debugging my apps.

Verify you aren't making invalid casts or anything. Also, it may be good to use a try-catch block and catch ApplicationException, so if ANYTHIGN happens, you can see it. Typically this is not good practice, but it might let you know if you are crashing.
