[c#] How to Exit a Method without Exiting the Program?

I am still pretty new to C# and am having a difficult time getting used to it compared to C/CPP.

How do you exit a function on C# without exiting the program like this function would?

if (textBox1.Text == "" || textBox1.Text == String.Empty || textBox1.TextLength == 0)
    textBox3.Text += "[-] Listbox is Empty!!!!\r\n";
System.Environment.Exit(0);

This will not allow return types and if left alone it will keep going on through the function unstopped. Which is undesirable.

If the function is a void, ending the function will return. Otherwise, you need to do an explicit return someValue. As Mark mentioned, you can also throw an exception. What's the context of your question? Do you have a larger code sample with which to show you some ways to exit the function?

The basic problem here is that you are mistaking System.Environment.Exit for return.

In addition to Mark's answer, you also need to be aware of scope, which (as in C/C++) is specified using braces. So:

if (textBox1.Text == "" || textBox1.Text == String.Empty || textBox1.TextLength == 0)
    textBox3.Text += "[-] Listbox is Empty!!!!\r\n";
return;

will always return at that point. However:

if (textBox1.Text == "" || textBox1.Text == String.Empty || textBox1.TextLength == 0)
{
    textBox3.Text += "[-] Listbox is Empty!!!!\r\n";
    return;
}

will only return if it goes into that if statement.

@John, Earlz and Nathan. The way I learned it at uni is: functions return values, methods don't. In some languages the syntax is/was actually different. Example (no specific language):

Method SetY(int y) ...
Function CalculateY(int x) As Integer ...

Most languages now use the same syntax for both versions, using void as a return type to say there actually isn't a return type. I assume it's because the syntax is more consistent and easier to change from method to function, and vice versa.

I would use return null; to indicate that there is no data to be returned
