VWDEE 2008 - How to Hide - The variable is declared but never used

When I use a try/catch block to handle specific errors I often don't need to make use of the error variable - but then I get a warning "The variable is declared but never used". Is there anyway to remove this warning in this specific circumstance? See code for example...

// gives warning "warning CS0168: The variable 'Error' is declared but never used"

catch (ThreadAbortException Error)
{
    // The error type itself tells me everything I need to know, meaning I don't need to inspect the variable 'Error' - so how to hide the warning in this case?
    LogError("Maintenance:Thread - Stopped");
}

C# is as follows - cheers

#pragma warning disable 0168
        catch (ThreadAbortException Error)
        {
            LogError("Maintenance:Thread - Stopped");
        }
        #pragma warning restore 0168

BTW, I think you can simply solve this by leaving out a variable name, i.e.:

> catch (ThreadAbortException)

IMO there's no need to, it's not worth the effort ...
