!:System.Security.SecurityPermission [Edit]	Requires permission to control the current thread. See System.Security.Permissions.SecurityPermissionFlag.ControlThread.

Exceptions

Type	Reason

System.Security.SecurityException	Caller does not have System.Security.Permissions.SecurityPermissionFlag.ControlThread security permission for the current thread. [Edit]

Remarks

This method cannot be called by untrusted code.

When a call is made to Thread.Abort(object) to destroy a thread, the system throws a System.Threading.ThreadAbortException. System.Threading.ThreadAbortException is a special exception that can be caught by application code, but is rethrown at the end of the catch block unless ResetAbort is called. ResetAbort cancels the request to abort, and prevents the ThreadAbortException from terminating the thread.

[Edit]
