Maybe posting a minimal and complete code would help us in finding your problem?

while(App.isOpen())
{
   sf::Event currentEvent;
   initGraphics(App);

          while(App.pollEvent(currentEvent))
     {

               if (currentEvent.type == sf::Event::Closed && currentEvent.key.code == sf::Keyboard::Escape)
               {
           App.close();
                }
          }
 }

Hmm...pretty bare bones that should run just fine.  If anything your line to close the window should be:

if (currentEvent.type == sf::Event::Closed || currentEvent.key.code == sf::Keyboard::Escape)

Should be OR ( || ) not AND ( && ) otherwise your window will only close when you press 'Escape' AND click the 'X' in the title bar.

But unless you got something weird going on in your initGraphics() method it might just be your debugger or dev environment.  What happens if you just run the *.exe file the compiler creates?

The program in .exe file is not automatically close, just on when run the program from the visual studio 2010 still close automatically..  Thanks anyway..

It's gotta be an issue with vs2010 then.

currentEvent.key.code is defined only when the current event is an sf::Event::KeyPressed (/KeyReleased).
