How to Automatically re-raise Exceptions

Question

If you wrap a call to HttpResponse.End within a try catch block, the ThreadAbortException would automatically be re-raised. I assume this is the case even if you wrap the try catch block in a try catch block.

How can I accomplish the same thing? I do not have a real-world application for this.

namespace Program
{
    class ReJoice
    {
        public void End() //This does not automatically re-raise the exception if caught.  
        {
            throw new Exception();
        }
    }
    class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            try
            {
                ReJoice x = new ReJoice();
                x.End();
            }
            catch (Exception e) {}
        }
    }
}

You can't change ordinary exceptions to have this behaviour. ThreadAbortException has special support for this that you can't implement yourself in C#.

ThreadAbortException is a special exception that can be caught, but it will automatically be raised again at the end of the catch block.
