title: Why does ASP.NET cause the "Operation Aborted" Error in IE7?
body: <p>I have been reading lots of blog posts offering cause and solution to the "Operation Aborted" error in IE. I recently built an application that is getting this error for some of ther users, some of the time.</p>
  
  <p>Let me explain in detail.</p>
  
  <p>The application is .NET 2.0, ASP .NET and C# web application built in VS 2008. It uses ComponentOne web controls along with standard Visual Studio controls.</p>
  
  <p>In one of the web pages I am letting users type input in a set of ComponentOne Web input controls which then get added to a collection. The collection is bound to repeater and everytime a new entry is made in collection, repeater is rebound. If users delete entry from repeater (using command button), collection is updated and rebound to repeater.</p>
  
  <p>When the application was submitted to end users for testing, a couple of them complained that they were getting "Operation Aborted" error when viewing or working on this page. It will sometime occur the moment user tries to load the page and other times when they are adding/dropping items to the collection.</p>
  
  <p>Those users have IE7 with no third party add-ons other than Adobe PDF and Google Toolbar. The error doesn't occur in FireFox or Google Chrome. It also doesn't occur in IE8 Beta 2.</p>
  
  <p>When I or my fellow developer try to replicate the error using IE7 on our machines, we just can't do that. No matter what we try, we don't get that error.</p>
  
  <p>I also tried IE6 and don't get the error.</p>
  
  <p>The IE7 version are same all across.</p>
  
  <p>Not sure how to go about solving this problem. All the blog posts, forum post talk about JavaScript and altering body elements but not sure how this applies to me and even if it does, why the behavior different in two IE7 browsers?</p>
  
  <p>Any suggestions/help is welcome.</p>
