Thread was being aborted error message

[Jimi]

Hi all, I have a user control which raises an event to the parent page when
a person clicks on a link in a datagrid.

In the event handler inside the parent page I construct a url to redirect to
containing information sent from the datagrid.

It all works fine on my local machine but when I send it to the live server
I receive "The thread was being aborted"

Doing some googling suggested that I use

Response.Redirect("./myurl.aspx?ID=" + variable,false);

to allow the current thread to continue executing.

This stops the error but what I am now finding is that the redirect does not
have the querystring attributes attached to it..

e.g. instead of looking like this...

http://www.website.com/myurl.aspx?ID=5

it looks like

http://www.website.com/myurl.aspx


It's like the redirect *never* happens....

Help appreciated
Thanks
Mark

Put your Response.Redirect back to the way it was, without the false
parameter.
Then wrap it in a Try/Catch statement to eat the error that's raised from
the redirect.

Hi Steve, you mean like this???

try
{
Response.Redirect("./myurl.aspx?ID=" + variable);

}catch (Exception ex)
{

}

I have seen other people say take the Response.Redirect("./myurl.aspx?ID=" +
variable,false) out of the try catch block...
I understand why this is hapenning but cannot understand how to fix it...

Thanks again Steve..
Cheers

Yes, that's what I'm suggesting. Does it work for you?

Hi Steve, no unfortunately not.

I did a try catch and caught the exception like so:

catch (Exception ex)

Output of ex.Message was Thread was being aborted.
and ex.Source = mscorlib

Thanks again for your help

Hi all, in the end due to time constraints I used a JavaScript redirect and
now it all works fine.

Thanks for your help Steve
