Exceptions

Either the base class OnClosing() method or the base class OnClosed() method is not called.

Remarks

This method indicates that any unfinished work should be ignored or ungracefully terminated before returning. The Abort method can be used to cancel any outstanding operations, including outstanding calls to Close.
