My app doesn't close using the back button

[vargai]

Hi,
I have written my very first application to Windows Phone 8.1 in Visual Studio 2013. If I run the application on my phone or in emulator through Visual Studio, it does not close pressing the back button (when I hold the back button it shows up), only by pressing long and X it. Should I resolve it from code or is it only because I deploy it and it will disappear when I upload it to the store?

Sorry for my English rly:

It's not a bug it's a feature.
Which was implemented in windows phone 8.1 for faster multi tasking.

Is there any solution to kill it? Other apps I use close by back button. I would like this on my app too.

All 8.1 apps must behave like this. You can swipe the app down in the multitask screen to close it. Similar to windows 8

There is a solution. First tell me which type of app you are making universal or windows phone etc

I think you are writing your app via Visual Basic right?
does your code contains
Public NotInheritable Class MainPage

Public Sub New()
InitializeComponent()
AddHandler Application.Current.Suspending, AddressOf App_Suspending
End Sub

End Class

No. I am writing in C#.

oops sorry
using System;
using Windows.ApplicationModel;
using Windows.ApplicationModel.Activation;
using Windows.UI.Xaml;

partial class MainPage
{
public MainPage()
{
InitializeComponent();
Application.Current.Suspending += new SuspendingEventHandler(App_Suspending);
}
}
this is the module for app suspending

you can also target windows phone 8 while building the app it's more better for you.
I still don't get it why do you want to eliminate it. It just suspends the app instead of closing it.

I've got this message: The name 'App_Suspending' does not exist in the current context. I used required namespaces.
I don't have any app which suspends instead of closing and I want my app to react like other popular ones. It is a ticket buying app, nobody uses more than two times a day.

I think it's by default you have add app exit. I can't help anymore cause I don't know much about c# you should go to wpcentral developer forum and ask them
I still suggest you to don't worry as apps like Facebook,Wunderlist and 6cret uses the same feature i.e. They suspends instead of closing when back button is pressed.
