[Mono-dev] (Nevermind) Asp.net thread abort issue

[Kornél Pál]

Hi,

This has no connection with TargetInvocationException. A thread is aborted
using an exception when the exception reaches the top of the stack the
thread will be aborted. ThreadAbortException is a special one as it will be
rethrown even when you caught it unless you called Thread.ResetAbort(). Note
that however that ThreadAbortException will not be rethrown if there is
another exception on the stack as in this case that exception can reach the
top of the stack and the thread will be aborted. In addition this gives you
the ability to catch that exception and handle it rather than being lost by
replacing it with a ThreadAbortException. In the case you mentioned this
exception is TargetInvocationException but it could be any other exception
as well.
