ThreadAbortExce ption when using Trace

[Christoph Wienands]

Hey guys,

I just got some really weird behavior. I put the following code into the
Application_Sta rt event in Global.asax:

// init some trace listeners
Uri codeBase = new Uri(Assembly.Ge tExecutingAssem bly().CodeBase) ;
string fileName = Path.GetDirecto ryName(codeBase .LocalPath);
fileName = Path.Combine(fi leName, "pmatsiemens_tr ace" +
DateTime.Now.To String("yyyyMMd dHHmmss") + ".log");
TextWriterTrace Listener listener = new TextWriterTrace Listener(fileNa me,
"FileLogger ");
Trace.Listeners .Add(listener);
Trace.AutoFlush = true;
Trace.WriteLine ("Applicatio n started");

When I then run a web application I notice that Application_Sta rt is
executed over and over again. In the output window I see the following error
messages:

Application started
'/LM/W3SVC/1/Root/MyWebApp-34-127730118577453 952': Loaded
'c:\windows\mic rosoft.net\fram ework\v1.1.4322 \temporary asp.net
files\mywebapp\ 2e53becd\66ad82 af\qf3dspm5.dll ', Symbols loaded.
aspnet_wp!libra ry!af4!10/5/2005-10:51:05:: i INFO: Cleaned 0 batch records,
0 policies, 0 sessions, 0 cache entries, 0 snapshots, 0 chunks, 0 running
jobs
Application ended
An unhandled exception of type 'System.Threadi ng.ThreadAbortE xception'
occurred in Unknown Module.
Additional information: Thread was being aborted.
The program '[2760] aspnet_wp.exe:
/LM/W3SVC/1/Root/MyWebApp-34-127730118577453 952' has exited with code 0
(0x0).
The thread '<No Name>' (0x62c) has exited with code 0 (0x0).

Does anybody have a clue why this is happening?

Thanks, Christoph

Christopher,

This is only a guess, but normally in .NET when you change the web.config
file and re-save or change a .dll file and re-save the application restarts
to get the new code. Whatever listner triggers the application restart might
be triggered by your code that is writing to the application's directory.
Try saving elswhere. I think that will resolve the issue.

The ThreadAbortExce ption is a bit of a trick ASP.NET uses when a Response.Redire ct
is used.

Goood catch! Should have thought of that myself. Whenever a file changes in
the bin directory the app seems to restart. Now I just save it to a log
directory.
