Thread.Abort Method

Microsoft Silverlight will reach end of support after October 2021. Learn more.

This member can be used only by trusted applications. If you try to use this member in a partial-trust application, your code will throw a MethodAccessException exception. This member is security-critical, which restricts its use.

[SECURITY CRITICAL]

Raises a ThreadAbortException in the thread on which it is invoked, to begin the process of terminating the thread. Calling this method usually terminates the thread.
