Thread was being aborted error when using process.waitforexit()

Question

I have code below that is getting called from a while loop so it\'s executing multiple times in a row. Sometimes, but not always, I end up getting a thread was being aborted err

Answer 1

If you are calling it from an ASP.NET page the Exception you are seeing is most likely a result of you hitting the Execution timeout on the Request for the page and it is being aborted. The error is on the p.WaitforExit() line because that is where your ASP.NET page was while it was waiting for the Process you started to return. You can change the default execution timeout (110 seconds in 2.0) in the web config file for your ASP.NET app.

<httpRuntime  executionTimeout = "600" >

or via code in the page for that page only:

  HttpContext.Current.Server.ScriptTimeout
