wierd exception

=?Utf-8?B?ZHNoZW1lc2g=?=

Hello,
I have a C# project with windows forms.
I sometimes get unprdictable .NET exceptions. I don't always get them, so I
can't reproduce where exactly it happens. I can generally say it happens when
closing the application (maybe in the dispose method?).
Here are 2 examples:

System.Threading.ThreadAbortException: Thread was being aborted.
at System.Windows.Forms.UnsafeNativeMethods.CallWindo wProc(IntPtr
wndProc, IntPtr hWnd, Int32 msg, IntPtr wParam, IntPtr lParam)

Any ideas?

I take it you are not, yourself, doing anything with unsafe mode or anything
unusual?

How do you close the application? Application.Exit() ? Closing the main
form? Something else?

You are correct.
I have no idea what these methods do.
I close the application using System.Environment.Exit(-1).

Try this:
http://www.ondotnet.com/pub/a/dotnet...readabort.html

HTH :)

Basically, ThreadAbortException is thrown when thread is being aborted
to alert user to perform maintenance cleansing. It's benign exception
and you can do this for quick fix:

try
{
.................your code................
}
catch (ThreadAbortException)
{
}

Are you spawning threads in your app?
Sometimes it happens when you close an application and some threads
are still running.

System.Environment.Exit(code) expects you to stop all the other threads
first. In a windowed application. Application.Exit() is preferred. Is
there a good reason a windowed app needs to return an exit code?

I don't really have to return an exit code, so there is no problem for me to
use Application.Exit(). Will this stop all the running threads for me?

I do not know of any threads usage in my code. Maybe since I have a few forms
in the application some threads are opened and closed automatically (and then
one or more is not closed properly?)?

Hi Michael,
I tried using Application.Exit() and encountered the following problems:
1. After calling Application.Exit() the code continues to run. It does not
really terminate the application (I am calling Application.Exit() from the
main method of my application). I see this when in debug mode.
2. I still get sometimes the exception...

When checking the code more thoroughly It looks something like this:

void Main {
int retval = foo();
if (retval == FAILED) {
System.Environment.Exit(-1); }
else {
System.Windows.Forms.Application.Run(new psScheduleTasks()); }
}

void foo {
Thread a;
a = new Thread(new ThreadStart(ShowWaitScreen));
a.Start();
more code...

a.abort();
return retval;
}

The exception is thrown when foo returns FAILED.
I tried using System.Windows.Forms.Application.Exit() instead of
System.Environment.Exit(-1), but the exception is still begin thrown.
