SharePoint : thread was being aborted

I was getting "Thread was being aborted" error while running my workflow. My Workflow required 5-10 mins to finish. but after 2 or 3 mins I started my workflow, it was throwing this error. which i got from my error log.

I could Identify that, the error is coming in different steps (workflow activities) everytime. It means problem is neither with data nor with the code.

then after searching for sometime. I found this article @

thanks to author.


the actual problem is sharepoint execution time.

The solution to the problem is
<httpRuntime executionTimeout=“200“ maxRequestLength=“51200“/>

try to find the "<httpruntime"  element in your sharepoint's web application's web.config file and include this attribute.  " executionTimeout=“2000“ "

I changed it to "2000". now the problem is solved. (at least for me)

this may help to those who overlooked this check.
