Closing my application is interfering with my Form1_FormClosing event


At the form load i am trying to see if my application can connect to the database or not. If it doesn't connect i want to show a message box with a nice message, and close the application. The problem that i am having is that when the it trys to close the application it hits the Form_closing event that asks them "if they want to exit the application" it looks kind of strange for a user that does not have access to the application/database to view the message box. I just want to skip the form closing event and just close the form, any help would be greatly appreciated.

  private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
  {
     checkcon();
  }
  private void checkcon()
  {
     try
     {
       MSSQL.SqlConnection con = new MSSQL.SqlConnection(constr);
       con.Open();
       con.Close();
     }
     catch (Exception ex)
     {
       MessageBox.Show("Your domain account does not have sufficient privilages to    continue with the application please contact the IS support Team.");              
       Close();
     }

  }

  private void Form1_FormClosing(object sender, FormClosingEventArgs e)
  {
    DialogResult result = MessageBox.Show("Are you sure you want to exit the application?", "Alert", MessageBoxButtons.YesNo, MessageBoxIcon.Warning);
     if (result == DialogResult.No)
     {
        e.Cancel = true;
     }
     else
     {
     }
  }

Solution

  • add a static bool var as a check wether to show Dialogue or not:

     public static bool HasPermission=true;
     private void checkcon()
      {
         try
         {
           MSSQL.SqlConnection con = new MSSQL.SqlConnection(constr);
           con.Open();
    
           con.Close();
         }
         catch (Exception ex)
         { 
           HasPermission=false;
           MessageBox.Show("Your domain account does not have sufficient privilages to    continue with the application please contact the IS support Team.");              
           Close();
         }
    
      }
    
     private void Form1_FormClosing(object sender, FormClosingEventArgs e)
      { if (HasPermission)
        {
        DialogResult result = MessageBox.Show("Are you sure you want to exit the application?", "Alert", MessageBoxButtons.YesNo, MessageBoxIcon.Warning);
         if (result == DialogResult.No)
         {
            e.Cancel = true;
         }
         else
         {
         }
         }
      }
