thread aborted asp.net and c#

hi guys,

I get the following error. when trying to open a document ( from a filestream) in asp.net /c#.

protected void LinkButtonOpenFile_OnClick(Object sender, EventArgs e)
{
try
{
using (var connection = DatabaseLayer.OpenConnection())
{
LinkButton link = (LinkButton)sender;
var FileName = link.Text;

var extention = Path.GetExtension(FileName);
var partnerresourseID = OrganisationLogic.GetPartnerResourceIdByOrgIdAndFileName(sender, connection, null, Convert.ToInt32(ViewState["OrgID"]), FileName);

var logo = OrganisationLogic.GetPartnerResourceById(connection, null, partnerresourseID);

Response.ClearContent();
Response.Buffer = false;
Response.ContentType = ProjectAttachmentLogic.GetContentType(extention);
Response.AddHeader("Content-disposition", "attachment; filename=" + FileName);
Response.BinaryWrite(logo.Data);
Response.OutputStream.Write(logo.Data, 0, logo.Data.Length);
Response.OutputStream.Flush();
Response.End(); // here it crashes and said " Thread is aborted".
}
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
throw;
}
}

From this thread: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/20988445/how-to-avoid-response-end-thread-was-being-aborted-exception-during-the-exce, it is clear that you need to use
```
HttpContext.Current.Response.End();
```
Instead of the plain one. That would overcome the error. The thread states that this function (the one that you are using) always throws the exception.
