Response.Redirect throws _Thread was being aborted_
While working on a project, I got this error on doing a Response.Redirect operation. When I searched for reasons behind this error, I got the following results:
1) Server.Transfer and Response.Redirect methods redirect users to another page and internally call Response.End method. Response.End immediately ends the page execution and shifts the execution to the Application_EndRequest event in the application's event pipeline.
2) By design, .Net automatically throws a ThreadAbortException on a Response.Redirect operation. To avoid this, set the 2nd parameter (EndResponse ) of redirect operation to false. Since we are bypassing end response, ThreadAbortException method will not be called.
3) Move Response.Redirect method outside the try/catch block. If there is a need to handle exceptions then first catch ThreadAbortException exception and do nothing in that catch block. Put your other exceptions blocks below ThreadAbortException block.
Try
{
// Do stuff.
}
catch(ThreadAbortException)
{
// Do nothing. ASP.NET is redirecting.
}
catch(Exception ex)
{
// Log other exceptions.
}
4) Write your own custom redirect function like the one shown below
Private void Redirect(string url, bool hasErrored)
{
If (hasErrored)
{
HttpContext.Current.Response.Redirect(url, False)
HttpContext.Current.ApplicationInstance.CompleteRequest()
}
Else {
HttpContext.Current.Server.ClearError()
HttpContext.Current.Response.Redirect(url, False)
HttpContext.Current.ApplicationInstance.CompleteRequest()
}
}
5) None of the above solutions worked for me. In my case, error was due to wrong page path. I was redirecting to the page above the root directory .i.e. I added extra.. In the path of redirect method. Using ~ sign for root directory worked. Make sure you are redirecting the page to the valid location.
