Re: Stopping error message in VB .NET

Tech-Archive recommends: Speed Up your PC by fixing your registry

You could put the code in the try block. It won't get executed if the catch
is invoked before it is hit.

You could also just exit the Sub or Function using: Exit Sub or Exit
Function.

When you say you want the program to stop I'm guessing you mean you want
that particular funtion to stop, but that the user may choose to try
something else...?

Otherwise, use the Application.Exit as noted in a previous post.
