DataBind throws ThreadingAbort exception

Question

I'm using DataBind() on an ASP.NET GridView, and it throws a ThreadingAbort exception, but only when the GridView is currently bound to an empty (but not null) DataTable and I call DataBind() after linking it to another empty (but not null) DataTable.

DataTable dt = ... // obtain DataTable with 0 rows
MyGridView.DataSource = dt;
MyGridView.DataBind(); // errors on second time around

Any ideas why this should happen, and how to stop it? Thanks

I don't think it is anything to do with IsPostBack - that is true for both attempts to .Bind(), but only the second attempt fails. — radders

Found the problem. It was throwing an exception in the _OnDataBound(Object sender, EventArgs e) event handler.
