.net - Stop Debugging Event in C#

Question

How or where can I run a command when the application closes, even if is a debug stop?

I need to perform a command in any exit, even if the user is a developer and click on "stop debugging" button on Visual Studio.

I try with

Application.ApplicationExit += new EventHandler(this.OnApplicationExit);

but it doesn't work. Maybe I'm wrong or is not the event.

I'm using Winforms and not, on Form Close can't be the event.

I'm using Visual Studio 2005 Net Framework 2.0 (by client requirement), but is just for information.

Maybe can I rewrite this?:

public static void Exit();

The problem is the "stop debugging" function will halt the application entirely - so no more code within that application will run.

Your only way of achieving this would be to watch the process being debugged externally and execute the code if it has been halted.

According to [MSDN]:

Stop Debugging terminates the process you are debugging if the program was launched from Visual Studio.

However you may be able to achieve what you want with a visual studio add-in.
