Windows Phone 7 close application

by

If you write an XNA Game, you will have access to an explicit Exit() method. If you are writing traditional Silverlight project, then NO, there is no way to programatically close your app. See also Peter Torr’s Blog entry on Exiting Silverlight Apps in Windows Phone 7. There he also mentions the option of throwing an unhandled exception, which IMO is a terrible programing style.

An option you may try, is using the WP7 Navigation Service to programatically navigate back out of the application. Not sure if that would work though. Why do you need to Exit?
