Double confirmation on exit

I am trying to make it so that the user is prompted to confirm exiting my program in c#, but for some reason, if they say "yes" they would like to exit, the confirmation box would pop up again. I can't figure out why.

    if (MessageBox.Show("Are you sure you want to exit?", "Confirm exit", MessageBoxButtons.YesNo, MessageBoxIcon.Question) == DialogResult.No)
    {
        e.Cancel = true;
    }
    else { Application.Exit(); }
Solution

  • Ah, did you check the CloseReason for the FormClosing event? I think you might get the same event for two different reasons (although I don't exactly expect that to happen normally); check your FormClosingEventArgs to see what the parameters are.
