Avoid debugger halt on caught exception in thread

Question

Is it possible not have the debugger stop at the throw statement, while keeping the same functionality? I've asked around and it seems not, but I thought I'd give stackoverflow a try before I accept that's it's not possible.

class Program
{
    static void Main(string[] args)
    {
        var o = new MyClass();
        var t = new Task(o.DoStuff);
        t.Start();

        try
        {
            t.Wait();
        }
        catch (Exception ex)
        {
            Console.WriteLine(ex);
        }
        Console.ReadKey();
    }
}

public class MyClass
{
    public void DoStuff()
    {
        throw new Exception("Testing"); // debugger stops here!
    }
}

"while keeping the same functionality" what functionality is it that you want to keep? So far, you've described a single behaviour, and that's the one you're asking to get rid of. — Damien_The_Unbeliever, Jan 12 '13 at 08:18
What I meant by that is that I don't want to handle the exception in the thread, but keep it in main — Snæbjørn, Jan 12 '13 at 08:29

Open Exceptions windows with Ctrl + Alt + E in Visual Studio. Click on which exception you want to unhandled.

Also check: Visual Studio: How to break on handled exceptions?
