Response.Redirect and thread was being aborted error?

Question

I had this error Thread was being aborted., this afternoon in my error log.

The code that caused this error is:

Response.Redirect(\"         


        

Answer 1

I catch this exception and swallow it because ASP.NET is using exceptions for flow control rather than for an exceptional circumstance.

try
{
    // Do stuff.
}
catch(ThreadAbortException)
{
    // Do nothing. ASP.NET is redirecting.
    // Always comment this so other developers know why the exception 
    // is being swallowed.
}
catch(OtherExceptionTypes ex)
{
    // Log other types of exception.
}
