Exception Handling - exclude an exception type

Question

User753316805 posted

I have one policy set up to handle all exception types...

<exceptionPolicies>

    <add name="MyExceptionPolicy">

       <exceptionTypes>

            <add name="All Exceptions" type="System.Exception" ... postHandlingAction="NotifyRethrow">

                ...

            </add>

        </exceptionTypes>

    </add>

</exceptionPolicies>

What if I want to ignore Thread Abort Exceptions? Would I add the following to exceptionTypes? Thank you for your time.

       <exceptionTypes>

            <add name="All Exceptions" type="System.Exception" ... postHandlingAction="NotifyRethrow">
            <add name="Thread Abort Exceptions" type="System.Threading.ThreadAbortException" ... postHandlingAction="None">

                ...

            </add

        </exceptionTypes>

AllExceptions [System.Exception] throws Thread Abort Exception. In order to avoid specific exception simply avoid All Exceptions AND add other indivual exceptions that should be considered to exception policy.
