In visual studio if exception is unhanded and studio cannot find source code that caused it, screen like this will be shown:

enter image description here

And that's ok. Let's say I don't need the code, but how can I at least see some exception info except type and message? Inner exception would be helpful for example.

Edit: As suggested in @victor-alexandru-papa's answer if "Break when thrown" for Common Language Runtime Exceptions is checked, it will indeed show more info about exception. (in my case break mode was caused by exception in not awaited task).

Wanted to do this edit to add some screenshots of what happens. So, as you can see, new View details button appears, which actually shows details of the exception. Also I can see stack now and state of my application when exception was thrown.

    IIRC you can just "continue execution," and the exception will bubble up to a part of your code where the normal Exception Thrown dialog will be shown, which will allow you to observe the inner exception. – Robert Harvey Nov 10 '20 at 21:57
  • Does *Copy Details* give you more information? – Joe Sewell Nov 10 '20 at 22:02
  • "continue execution" terminates the application, "Copy Details" just copies what's displayed on the screen (exception type and message) – maxc137 Nov 11 '20 at 10:44

You could try going to Debug, Windows, Exception Settings, and check the box under "Break when thrown" for Common Language Runtime Exceptions.
