Selectively ignore thrown exceptions in C# code

Question

I have a function in C# code where a NullReferenceException is thrown periodically (expected behavior), but caught. Is there a way I can tell the Visual Studio debugger to n

Answer 1

If I understand correctly and what you're trying to do is debug some NullReferenceException(s) but want to temporarily ignore others while debugging, you might be able to do this by marking functions that you want the debugger to ignore with the DebuggerNonUserCode attribute.

[DebuggerNonUserCode]
private void MyMethod()
{
    // NullReferenceException exceptions caught in this method will
    //  not cause the Debugger to stop here..
}

NOTE that this will only work if the exceptions are caught in said methods. It's just that they won't cause the debugger to break if you have the debugger set to always break on NullReferenceException exceptions. And that this only works on methods, and not arbitrary sections of code inside of a method..
