Application.Exit and cyclic references

Question

Application.Exit wont close the process. The UI remains interactive.

Is this because I have cyclic references?

How do I find cyclic references without reasoning about the code?

*"doesn't work"* is not a problem statement. Everything following that is meaningless verbiage. See [ask] and fix the question accordingly. — IInspectable, Jun 22 '23 at 14:22

Cyclic references don't affect Application.Exit.

It turns out I was hitting the rough edges of the api by hacking Xaml::Controls::Grid with a combination reusing named xaml components with components created from code behind:

Grid.ColumnDefinitions.Append
Grid.Children.Append
Grid.SetColumnSpan

I broke the first rule of programming: avoid the rough edges
