There are a lot of things that can get you a "thread was being aborted", you can get a more detail message, if you put execution code inside of a try/catch block

Try
'place your code
Catch ex As SqlClient.SqlException | or System.Exception if your not using sql.
MessageBox.Show(ex.Message)
End Try

I hope this helps.
