What is it means ?

Solution

  • It means in your code somewhere a thread is being created that took longer than the shutdown timeout allows to finish its work. That thread had to be forcefully shut down and the way that forceful shutdown is done is via a Thread.Abort() call.

    So check your code for infinite while loops or for for loops that have improper ending conditions. However this could just be caused by any slow code that takes more than 30 sec or so to finish its work.
