Normally in VB you can do a Me.Close to close a program. However when I try this in Visual Studio 2013 express it does not like the code. Is there a different way to close an apps when writing for windows 8.1 apps for tablets and PC's

You could close your app programmatically using the Application.Current.Exit method: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ie/windows.ui.xaml.application.exit

Application.Current.Exit()

Note that it is in general not recommended to close a Store App like this though. The user is supposed to close it himself or it should be suspended: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/apps/hh465088.aspx
