Why Response.Redirect causes System.Threading.ThreadAbortException?

Question

When I use Response.Redirect(...) to redirect my form to a new page I get the error:

A first chance exception of type \'System.Threading.ThreadAbortEx

Answer 1

This is just how Response.Redirect(url, true) works. It throws the ThreadAbortException to abort the thread. Just ignore that exception. (I presume it is some global error handler/logger where you see it?)
