What happens to current thread execution after Response.Redirect???

Say I have the following code:

VB Code:

Dim dt As New DataTable
   'code to populate datatable
   If dt.Rows.Count = 0 Then
      Response.Redirect("NoRecords.aspx")
   End If

What happens to dt and the current thread execution?
Say I did:

VB Code:

If dt.Rows.Count = 0 Then
      Response.Redirect("NoRecords.aspx")
      Dim Woof As Integer = 67
   End If

And place a break point on the Dim Woof line, then when u run the code it's clear that the Dim Woof line will NEVER get executed.
This goes against all other synchronous and asynchronous calls, which will always return...someone will now ocme up with an example to go against what I said, but you know what I mean.
So...what is actually happening here on the Redirect command?
Does it start a new thread? If so, what happens to the old one? Is it left to the GAC to clear up?

Everything on a page is 'destroyed' after the request is complete, even if there is no Response.Redirect. Therefore, moving to the next page or completing execution of the current one makes no difference in this context.

but what happens to thread execution, as normal functions would prosess the Response.Redirect, and then continue to the next line of code.
What happens to this? Does the thread get toasted instantly?

ie...if I have a connection open I shoudl do .close b4 I redirect blah blah blah.
U have to write code around teh fact that the redirect function termintes the currect code execution...

Does the GAC clean up the old page and it's objects then?

There is an overloaded method for Response.Redirect. You can specify whether to end the response on the current page -> http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/de...irectTopic.asp.

Maybe worth a try - never used it myself though.

Hmmmm very interesting. Damn, alredy given u a rep point, so can't give another. Doh!

So, now for the nitty gritty questions. What overloaded method should you use?

I would have thought:

Code:

---

Response.Redirect("http://www.somewhere.com/default.aspx", false);

---

But like I said never tried it!
