Double Close!

Hey

I'm trying to write an array containing file directories to a text document. When i try this code on form close it writes to the file, but i have to hit close twice most of the time :\ Could anyone explain why?

Code:

        Dim w As New StreamWriter("C:\IMtemp\dlls.txt")
        For Each IDLL In dlls
            If counter3 < ListBox1.Items.Count Then
                w.WriteLine(IDLL)
                counter3 = counter3 + 1
            End If
        Next
        w.Close()

because if there is any error example no size or no rights
it is to make sure that ur text is written correctly

[highlight=vb.net]
IO.File.WriteAllLines("C:\IMtemp\dlls.txt", dlls.Items.Cast(Of Object).Select(Function(i As Object) i.ToString()).ToArray())
[/highlight]

And try it on the Form_closed event and make sure to set e.Cancel = false as well just in case.

Just put an End at the bottom then

. It's messy as fuck but it should work anyway.

me.close()?

Well seeing as this event is firing on the form close event, telling it close itself again probably won't help.

me.close weirdly crashes my application and End doesn't change anything

Nevermind anyway, i'm using a button to save the file now.

Quick Question. Does your program write everything to the file correctly?

Double Close!
