title: How do I suppress a thread.abort() error C#?
body: <p>I am showing a splash screen on a background thread while my program loads.  Once it loads I am aborting the Thread as it's only purpose was to show a Now Loading splash form.  </p>
  
  <p>My problem is that when aborting a Thread it throws a <code>ThreadAbortException</code> that the user can just click Continue on.</p>
  
  <p>How do I deal with this?  I was trying to suppress it like so --></p>
  
  <pre><code>            try
          {
              Program.splashThread.Abort();
          }
          catch(Exception ex)
          {
  
          }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>but I have a feeling that is going to get me yelled at here and it doesn't work any way.</p>
  
  <p>Thanks!</p>
