VB.Net Run Code When WinForm Application Exits From Anywhere

I have a quick question.

I want to run some come when my application exits, wherever in the winform application it may be. The reason is that the user adds/changes data in the application in different forms, and I have it set to save different data to My.Settings. When the application exits, I want it all to be saved to a text file, to be loaded when the application is next started up. I cannot save to text file whenever the data is changed because it is changing too many times, so for ease of access, I save it My.Settings. I know how to save the data to a text file, I just want to know how can I have it run the code to save data to the text file WHEN the application is exiting.

VB allows you to add code to perform tasks when your application Starts or Shuts down. To access these, go to Project Properties -> Application Click "View Application Events".

This will open a file very much like a form code window. From the left/Declarations menu select MyApplication Events, then select ShutDown from the event list. This will bring up this:

Private Sub MyApplication_Shutdown(sender As Object, 
             e As EventArgs) Handles Me.Shutdown
  ' your code
  ' to executes when the application is shutting down

End Sub
