	Finalize	Allows an object to try to free resources and perform other cleanup operations before it is reclaimed by garbage collection. (Inherited from Object.)
	GetHashCode	Serves as a hash function for a particular type. (Inherited from Object.)
	GetType	Gets the Type of the current instance. (Inherited from Object.)
	InitializeForEventSource	Initializes the input objects needed to process events.
	MemberwiseClone	Creates a shallow copy of the current Object. (Inherited from Object.)
	OnEvent	Processes known events, and forwards unrecognized ones as generic events.
	OnExit	Raises the Exit event.
	OnStartup	Raises the Startup event.
	Run() () () ()	Starts a Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF) application.
	Run(Window)	Starts a Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF) application and opens a specified window.
	Shutdown	Causes an application to exit.
	ToString	Returns a string that represents the current object. (Inherited from Object.)
	VerifyAccess	Determines whether the calling thread has access to the current DispatcherObject object. (Inherited from DispatcherObject.)

Events

	Name	Description
	Exit	Occurs just before an application exits.
	Startup	Occurs when the Run method of an Application object is called.

Fields

	Name	Description
	Dispatcher	Contains the Dispatcher object that the current DispatcherObject object is associated with. (Inherited from DispatcherObject.)

Remarks

Each instance of the Application class is a singleton object whose application-scope services are shared across a single application domain. Consequently, only one Application object can be created per AppDomain object. To enable shared access, the Application class provides the static Current property, which returns a reference to the Application object for the current AppDomain object.

Thread Safety

Any public static (Shared in Visual Basic) members of this type are thread safe. Any instance members are not guaranteed to be thread safe.
