    You might see your Main method written as:
    void Main() { ... }
    or
    void Main(string[] args) { ... }
    but the full signature of Main is:
    int Main(string[] args) { ... }
    which allows you to return any integer return value you want to indicate an error as CommonGenius mentions.

    Store the code in an appropriate place (e.g. a global variable), then return it from your Main method.

    Yes

    when exiting the application do:

    Environment.Exit(int theErrorNumber)

    you can specify to the Exit() method an error number
