Use Server.Transfer in a try-catch

Hello
I'm trying to use a Server.Transfer in a try-catch (I cannot put it outside the Try-Catch as it is nested deep within a component that is called in a try-catch loop)

The problem is that the Server.Transfer always throws the ThreadAbortException. MSDN acknowledges that this is a unque exception that will be automatically rethrown - i.e. it can't be swallowed. Does anyone know if there is extar code I can write (maybe something in the threading namespace) that effectively swallows this so it doesn't rethrow

For example

Tr
Tr
Server.Transfer("ServB.aspx"
Catch ex As System.Threading.ThreadAbortExceptio
'want to kill thread so it doesn't rethrow to "Second Exception handler
Catch ex As Exceptio
Throw e
End Tr
Catch ex As Exceptio
'Second Exception handle
strEx = ex.Messag
End Tr

Thanks

Hi, Mark

did you try to use simple return; ?

Does this prevent further exceptions?

Hey Alex
Nice suggestion, I tried it and it doesn't work - the exception is still thrown

Calling Server.Transfer is like calling Exit from an exe. It means you
are all done, and processing of this request should end. If you still
have more code that you want to execute after calling Server.Transfer,
then you need to reorganize your code so that executes first, by, for
example, returning a status code from "deep within" your component, that
tells the calling code to execute the transfer.

Try Server.Execute. I don't know if it will help in your exact application
but it may be worth a try.

Hey Jason
I thought that Server.Transfer was like a goto, you transfer (goto) from Page A to Page B
I'm not trying to run any code after the server.transfer on page A, rather I'm trying to stop running all Page A code (in this case the try-catch block) and transfer to page B. The problem is that it keeps bubbling up the ThreadAbortException

Any ideas

Thanks

This is why Server.Transfer throws the exception in the first place, to
unwind the stack so nothing else gets executed. Just leave it alone and
let it do it's thing.

The problem is if I just "leave it alone", the exception it throws will be published (global error handler to catch all exceptions and publish them). I am stuck with someone else's architecture that requires me to switch pages with a component that uses Server.Transfer, and therefore an exception will be logged at every new page - which is what I want to avoid

That's why I'm trying to find a way to swallow the ThreadAbortException

Thanks

I think your only option is to ignore the ThreadAbortException in your
logging. Possibly you can inspect the stack trace of the exception and
only ignore it if Server.Transfer is in the stack.

Server.Execute is like a goto. It runs the code in the new page and returns
to the original page. In fact, you'll even end up with two sets of header
HTML tags in the client source.

Server.Transfer is more like changing processes.
