Sometimes you might need to handle the application exit event of a Silverlight application in order to logout, clear or perform any other operations required by your internal logic. Exactly for this reason there is an Exit event located in your project application class that directly derives from System.Windows.Application. In most cases the name of this class is App and you can access its Exit event like this:

C#

   App.Current.Exit += new EventHandler( ApplicationExit );

That's it!

    If you're using Visual Studio as your project creation point you want to open the App.xaml.cs file that is automatically created for you and add your code into the Application_Exit(object sender, EventArgs e) method that is created for you.

    Hi fanshengrui,

    What is the reason you cannot work with the ExitEvent handler? Do you get an error?

    Hi,

    I would recommend you to define a scriptable method in your SL app and call it from onbeforeunload event. Here is a sample solution: Download

    I would recommend you look for that on some JavaScript forum. I don't have an idea how you can prevent browser close, but at least you can still save your data before closing the browser.

    Hi,

    Thanks for your response,I am able to do that now in the sample application provided by you,but in actual application when i try to run it gives some javascript error while calling below line.I tried same in the sample application given by you it works fine.

    var out = slApp.Content.myApp.AskToSaveChanges();

    Is ther anything else that I need to do except making AskToSaveChanges [ScriptableMember] in order to acess it from javascript.
