Hi Krishna, I only touched the Single Use part. If all threads finished then the application is marked as stopped at the same time the ApplicationFinished even is raised. There was similar code to do the clean up in the Dispose method of GApplication but this was never called explicitly from the samples I looked at. I think that by the time the GC was due to call it automatically either the connection to the Manager was gone or the application itself was getting unloaded from memory. This means that a proper use of a Multi use application should include a call to GApplication.Dispose once the application is completed. However, this is up to the user's application so it will not account for crashes or coding errors. We might need something on the Manager as well to detect dead applications.
