One of my applications creates a background thread on startup which executes a series of tasks at a regular interval. However I get a ThreadAbortException after my application pool is recycled.
The problem is simply IIS is aborting my thread and my application is not handling it well. I found the solution in this Stack Overflow question. You have to tell your thread to stop via the Application_End method in Global.asax.cs which gets called when the application is recycled.
