Hi,
I have a question regarding ThreadAbortExce ption. Why is the thread abort
exception rethrown at the end of a catch clause?
Why is ThreadAbortExce ption's behavior designed to be this way?
Thanks in advance

Hi Vivek,
MSDN reads: "ThreadAbortExc eption is a special exception that can be caught,
but it will automatically be raised again at the end of the catch block."

So that the thread will be actually *be* aborted unless it explicitly
says that it shouldn't be. There's plenty of code which catches all
exceptions but doesn't really want to stop a thread from being aborted.
Why is ThreadAbortExce ption's behavior designed to be this way?
Because otherwise Thread.Abort would be even more useless than it
already is.
(See http://www.pobox.com/~skeet/csharp/threads/abort.shtml for my
views on it.)

Thanks for your views.
Now that i think more about it I wonder if it has anything to do with giving
functions upper in the call stack a chance to free unmanaged resourecs on
their call stack if any!
Example
foo1 is a method that the thread is executing (basically foo1 is the
ThreadStart parameter)
foo1 calls foo2 . foo2 opens some files (unmanaged calls) and then calls foo3
Assume we call the Abort method while foo3 is executing
If execution concluded in the ThreadAbortExce ption of foo3 the files would
still be open!
Maybe that's the reason by ThreadAbortExce ption is always rethrown unless
ResetAbort is explicitly called?
Any thoughts?

Sort of.

ThreadStart parameter)
foo1 calls foo2 . foo2 opens some files (unmanaged calls) and then calls foo3
Assume we call the Abort method while foo3 is executing

still be open!
Execution couldn't end there - the stack will have to be unwound, and
that's why the exception is rethrown. If just catching
ThreadAbortExce ption stopped it from being rethrown, the thread
wouldn't be aborted at all. It's not that execution would stop there -
it would continue just like with any other exception.

Hi
When i abort a thread i get threadabort exception and wot all the
things that need to be done there? IS releasing all the objects that
are created is necesssary before aborting?Or aborting alone is
sufficient?
Join ing the thread till it is killed is impossible in my scenario as
the exception is routed to some other layer. In the layer where abort
is done, the user will not handle it..
THanks

I just implemented a page that performs a Response.Redirect(url, true). As
such, I wrapped it in a try catch, and explicitly caught a
ThreadAbortException. However, the thread abort exception was still thrown
at every catch block above the try/catches level, as well as at the *same*
level as the try/catch. This does not seem like proper behavior at all. Once
I've caught the exception, why is it still propagating up the stack? I could

Every day a large chunk of XML is posted up to my app via http. The app
interprets this XML and writes results to a SQLServer. Occasionally a
ThreadAbortException is thrown during this process. Despite being
caught, this exception propagates all the way up the call stack. I know
this is by design and that I can use Thread.ResetAbort to stop this
exception from bubbling up the stack.
But I want to know why the exception is thrown in the...

it as well....

If a childThread is in the middle of a catch block and handling an
exception caught, the main thread calls childThread.Abort(). At that
time a ThreadAbortException is thrown in the childThread. The question
is: after the ThreadAbortException is thrown, does the childThread
continue run the remaining code in the catch block?
