Environment.FailFast Method (System) | Microsoft Learn

Environment.cs

Immediately terminates the process before reporting an error message. For Windows, the error message is written to the Windows Application event log, and the message is included in error reporting to Microsoft. For Unix-like systems, the message, alongside the stack trace, is written to the standard error stream.

public:
 static void FailFast(System::String ^ message);
[System.Security.SecurityCritical]
public static void FailFast(string message);
public static void FailFast(string? message);
public static void FailFast(string message);
[<System.Security.SecurityCritical>]
static member FailFast : string -> unit
static member FailFast : string -> unit
Public Shared Sub FailFast (message As String)
Parameters
message
String

A message that explains why the process was terminated, or null if no explanation is provided.

Attributes
Examples

The following example writes a log entry to the Windows Application event log when running under Windows, or writes the error message to the standard error stream when running under a Unix-like system, and terminates the current process.

using System;

class Example
{
    public static void Main()
    {
       string causeOfFailure = "A catastrophic failure has occurred.";

       // Assume your application has failed catastrophically and must
       // terminate immediately. The try-finally block is not executed
       // and is included only to demonstrate that instructions within
       // try-catch blocks and finalizers are not performed.
       try
       {
           Environment.FailFast(causeOfFailure);
       }
       finally
       {
           Console.WriteLine("This finally block will not be executed.");
       }
   }
}
/*
The example produces no output because the application is terminated.
However, an entry is made in the Windows Application event log, and
the log entry contains the text from the causeOfFailure variable.
*/
open System

let causeOfFailure = "A catastrophic failure has occurred."

// Assume your application has failed catastrophically and must
// terminate immediately. The try-finally block is not executed
// and is included only to demonstrate that instructions within
// try-catch blocks and finalizers are not performed.
try
    Environment.FailFast causeOfFailure
finally
    printfn "This finally block will not be executed."

// The example produces no output because the application is terminated.
// However, an entry is made in the Windows Application event log, and
// the log entry contains the text from the causeOfFailure variable.
Module Example
    Public Sub Main()
        Dim causeOfFailure As String = "A catastrophic failure has occurred."
        ' Assume your application has failed catastrophically and must
        ' terminate immediately. The try-finally block is not executed 
        ' and is included only to demonstrate that instructions within 
        ' try-catch blocks and finalizers are not performed.

        Try
            Environment.FailFast(causeOfFailure)
        Finally
            Console.WriteLine("This finally block will not be executed.")
        End Try
    End Sub
End Module

' The code example displays no output because the application is
' terminated. However, an entry is made in the Windows Application event
' log, and the log entry contains the text from the causeOfFailure variable.
Remarks

This method terminates a process without running any active try/finally blocks or finalizers.

On Windows, the Environment.FailFast method writes the message string to the Windows Application event log, creates a dump of your application, and then terminates the current process. The message string is also included in error reporting to Microsoft via Windows Error Reporting. For more information, see Windows Error Reporting: Getting Started.

On Unix-like systems, the message is written to the standard error stream, alongside the stack trace information.

Use the Environment.FailFast method instead of the Exit method to terminate your application if the state of your application is damaged beyond repair, and executing your application's try/finally blocks and finalizers will corrupt program resources.

Calling the Environment.FailFast method to terminate execution of an application running in the Visual Studio debugger throws an ExecutionEngineException and automatically triggers the fatalExecutionEngineError managed debugging assistant (MDA).
