Visual Studio 2022 - break points

Question

I have switched from VS 2017 to VS 2022.
Now execution stops every time I encounter an exception in the try {} block.
I would like to continue execution instead and ignore exceptions within the try block.

Is there a solution to this?

Answer 1

Hello @Dejan Lukic ,

Welcome to Microsoft Q&A forum.

The debugger will now stop on NullReference exceptions when they are thrown. Can you confirm if the executions stop for NullReference exceptions, on your side? If so, please try to uncheck it from Debug > Windows > Exception Settings > Common Language Runtime Exceptions > System.NullReferenceException.

Best Regards,

The VS2022 debugger can break when exceptions are thrown for various platforms. For example, the following image shows the types of exceptions for which the debugger's behavior can be controlled. The image shows that for most platforms some but not all of the exceptions will cause the debugger to break.

You should tell us the type of project you are working with and the specific exceptions for which you want the debugger to continue execution.
