Error: Thread was being aborted. at System.Threading.Thread.AbortInternal() at System.Threading.Thread.Abort(Object stateInfo) at System.Web.HttpResponse.End()

This error occurs mainly If You Use Response.End, Response.Redirect, or Server.Transfer

Cause: 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.

Resolution/Solution:

You can use a try-catch statement to catch this exception

or

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: ex: Response.Redirect (“nextpage.aspx”, false); If you use this workaround, the code that follows Response.Redirect is executed. For Server.Transfer, use the Server.Execute method instead.

The bad solution is using 

Response.Redirect(URL, False)

which will cause not to Response.End() current page, however be careful this might lead problems because rest of the page will get executed and might cause login bypass and similar security and performance issues.

Edit : Apparently you are not using Response.Redirect and you can't catch AbortThreadExecution with Try Catch, which means this answer is totally useless now :)

Although to able to get an answer you need to learn how to ask a question. you need to provide information such as :

  • Exception details
  • When it, what are the symptoms
  • What have you tried and didn't work
  • Have you manage the isolate the problem?

This can happen if the web app is being shut down or forcefully restarted while your code executes. I have seen this happen when your web app writes files to the web directory in which it's hosted, causing a recompile of the web app.
