PRB: ThreadAbortException Occurs If You Use Response.End, Response.Redirect, or Server.Transfer
This article was previously published under Q312629
If you use the
Response.End,
Response.Redirect, or
Server.Transfer method, a
ThreadAbortException exception occurs. You can use a
try-catch statement to catch this exception.
The
Response.End method ends the page execution and shifts the execution to the
Application_EndRequest event in the application's event pipeline. The line of code that follows
Response.End is not executed.
This problem occurs in the
Response.Redirect and
Server.Transfer methods because both methods call
Response.End internally.
To work around this problem, use one of the following methods:
- For Response.End, call the HttpContext.Current.ApplicationInstance.CompleteRequest method instead of Response.End to bypass the code execution to the Application_EndRequest event.
- For Response.Redirect, use an overload, Response.Redirect(String url, bool endResponse) that passes false for the endResponse parameter to suppress the internal call to Response.End. For example:
Response.Redirect ("nextpage.aspx", false);
- For Server.Transfer, use the Server.Execute method instead.
This behavior is by design.
APPLIES TO
- Microsoft ASP.NET 1.1
- Microsoft ASP.NET 1.0
