Is there any way to capture application exit event in vb.net windows form system?

Question

In C#, I used to capture the application exit event with the following code in program.cs.

   static void OnProcessExit(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        string message = "The application was closed at :" + DateTime.Now.ToString() + "."; 


    }

What is the equivalent of this in VB.NET?

I want to close the database connection if it is open by any chance in the application exit event.

Try this

AddHandler Application.ApplicationExit, AddressOf OnApplicationExit

Private Sub OnApplicationExit(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs)
    ' When the application is exiting, write the application data to the 
    ' user file and close it.
    WriteFormDataToFile()

    Try 
        ' Ignore any errors that might occur while closing the file handle.
        userData.Close()
    Catch 
    End Try 
End Sub
