If statement weirdness in Visual Studio 2008

Question

I\'ve come across a problem so strange, that I\'ve recorded my session because I didn\'t think anyone would belive me.

I came across a bug that seems to be at very f

I had exactly the same problem week ago. Also have VS2008, latest SP. WinForms application. The value was false but if body was always executed. I was doing same investigations as in your video. Here is my piece of code:

 if (CurrentFileFormatVersion > int.Parse(metaInfo.SimulationFileVersion))
     throw new SimulationFormatException(ws, ss);

Running without debugger compiled as 'Release' was fine. Try it.

I suppose there is a bug in VS2008 debugger. Somehow reproducible with 'if' and 'throw' keywords.

EDIT: the 'executed' word above is wrong one of course. 'Stepped in but not executed' must be used instead.
