Preventing ThreadAbortException.

Is there any method that I can guarantee execution of a code path within a
thread without a Thread.Abort call interrupting it? I am concerned that a
file write that is done using two calls will not complete if the thread is
aborted before the second call gets a chance to complete.

I thought about setting the priority to highest for the critical calls, but
I was not sure if this would be sufficient or not.

You need a Constrained Execution Region.

There's a lot of subtlety and a lot of restrictions on using them, but
they're intended to provide a solution to exactly the kind of problem you're
describing.

What about 1.1 framework?
