Environment.Exit in .NET doesn't work...

I'm trying to use Environment.Exit to exit my Windows Forms app with a specific exit code, but I can't get it to exit with anything besides 0.  The ExitTest sample from the MSDN documentation does not work.  When I run that sample with a command-line param of 47, it output that it will return 2F, but the debugger reports, "ExitTest.exe' has exited with code 0 (0x0)"

Ideas?

Have you tried running it without the debugger?

Why aren't you just returning the value out of Main instead? :)

Ted,

Giampiero is right, I just tried it and it seems to be a issue in the VS.Net debugger that always says it exited with 0x0, if you run your program at a dos prompt and then immediately execute ECHO %ERRORLEVEL% you will see the value is being returned correctly....
