Question

Please do not set duplicate flag on this qustion - it is not about \"why ThreadAbortException occurs\", it is about \"why w3wp.exe process terminates after

Answer 1

So far I have the only one solution:

    static class WebExtensions
    {
        public static void EndSafe(this HttpResponse response)
        {
            response.Flush();
            response.SuppressContent = true;
            HttpContext.Current.ApplicationInstance.CompleteRequest();
        }

        public static void RedirectSafe(this HttpResponse response, string url)
        {
            response.Redirect(url, false);
            HttpContext.Current.ApplicationInstance.CompleteRequest();
        }
    }

This is however forces me to ensure that there will be no code executed after it:

...some code
response.RedirectSafe(url);
return; //<-- important
...some more code

Pay attention, that only "return" is not enough in some cases (for example with recursive calls) and in some cases you may need to avoid using "return" (with try-finally constructions)
