Example

using System;
using System.Threading;

namespace Samples
{
  public class ThreadAbortExceptionSample
  {
    public static void StartHere()
    {
      try
      {
        Console.WriteLine("Thread starting");
        Thread.Sleep(1000);
        Console.WriteLine("Thread finishing");
      }
      catch(ThreadAbortException e)
      {
        string s  = (string) e.ExceptionState;
        Console.WriteLine(s);
      }
      finally
      {
        Console.WriteLine("In finally");
      }
    }
    public static void Main()
    {
      Thread t = new Thread(
                   new ThreadStart(StartHere));
      Console.WriteLine("Main starting");
      t.Start();
      Thread.Sleep(500);
      t.Abort("Time to go");
      t.Join();
      Console.WriteLine("Main finishing");
    }
  }
}

The output is

Main starting
Thread starting
Time to go
In finally
Main finishing
