ThreadAbortException handling in asp.net while executing Response.End() method

Question

While executing Response.End(); method in asp.net it throws ThreadAbortException which I handled in catch block, after end of inner catch block I want to execute some further code but it directly jump to outer catch block. Is This happening because of response has ended and .net framework do not execute any further code?

protected void btn_click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{

    try
    {
        string fileToDownload = MapPath(@"~\Sample.txt");
        string fileToRead = MapPath(@"~\FileNotExist.txt");

        try
        {
            //Section 1
            try
            { 
                // try to read the file which does not exist to raise the exception
                StreamReader ss = new StreamReader(fileToRead);
            }
            catch (IOException IoEx)
            {
                // Just for sample exception
            }

            // Section 2 code block still execute because exception handled by upper try catch block 
            //Section 2

            Response.Clear();
            Response.ClearHeaders();
            Response.AddHeader("Content-Disposition", "attachment;filename=SampleTemplate.txt");
            Response.ContentType = "text";
            Response.WriteFile(fileToDownload);
            Response.Flush();
            Response.End();

        }
        catch (System.Threading.ThreadAbortException abrtEx)
        {
          // do not treat this exception as Exception
        }

        //Section 3 Code block not executing even after exception handeled by ThreadAbortException 
        //Section 3
         string test = "Do futher process after sample downloaded";


    }
    catch (Exception ex) // Outer Catch Block
    {
        throw ex;
    }


}

Instead of

Response.End()

use

HttpContext.Current.ApplicationInstance.CompleteRequest()

Like this

protected void btn_click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    try
    {
        string fileToDownload = MapPath(@"~\Sample.txt");
        string fileToRead = MapPath(@"~\FileNotExist.txt");

        try
        {
            //Section 1
            try
            { 
                // try to read the file which does not exist to raise the exception
                StreamReader ss = new StreamReader(fileToRead);
            }
            catch (IOException IoEx)
            {
                // Just for sample exception
            }

            // Section 2 code block still execute because exception handled by upper try catch block 
            //Section 2

            Response.Clear();
            Response.ClearHeaders();
            Response.AddHeader("Content-Length", fileToDownload.Length.ToString()); 
            Response.AddHeader("Content-Disposition","attachment;filename=SampleTemplate.txt");
            Response.ContentType = "text";
            Response.WriteFile(fileToDownload);
            Response.Flush();
            HttpContext.Current.ApplicationInstance.CompleteRequest();

        }
        catch (System.Threading.ThreadAbortException abrtEx)
        {

        }

        //Section 3 Code block not executing even after exception handeled by ThreadAbortException 
        //Section 3
         string test = "Do futher process after sample downloaded";


    }
    catch (Exception ex) // Outer Catch Block
    {
        throw ex;
    }
}
