Powershell: Can't close application when certain condition is met

Question

I've had trouble closing my powershell script. I've got some forms from PowerGUI and included a function at the beginning of the handler that loads the form.

Simple task: Check a variable. If it's $false, close the program/application.

exit and break throw a Microsoft .Net Error, which can be clicked away when pressing "Continue" and the script continues.

Here are the details of the .net error. http://pastebin.com/phdspwsT

Thank you very much!

So if you create a .ps1 script file that contains just the code above, you'll get the the error as per Pastebin? — vonPryz

If you need to close the form during the OnLoad event don't use break. Try calling $sender.Close(). Another thing to try is $sender.DialogResult = 'Cancel'.
