Why am I getting Thread was being aborted in ASP NET

Question

I am not sure why this happens and I never explicitly abort threads  so it s a bit of a surprise  But I log Exceptions and I am seeing      System Threading ThreadAbortException - Thread was being aborted    It appears to happen in a call to System Threading WaitHandle WaitOne  I am not sure how far this Exception goes  I don t think my threads ever terminate  because I catch log and swallow the error   Why am I getting these errors  Perhaps it s when I am forcefully terminating my server or asking it to reboot  If it isn t then what might be causing them

This error can be caused by trying to end a response more than once  As other answers already mentioned  there are various methods that will end a response  like Response End  or Response Redirect   If you call more than one in a row  you ll get this error   I came across this error when I tried to use Response End after using Response TransmitFile which seems to end the response too
