Overview

ExceptionBreaker is a VS extension that provides a way to fast-toggle breaking on all CLR exceptions.
It is available through both Debug toolbar and Debug top level menu.

Installation

The extension can be installed from Visual Studio Gallery.
Supported VS versions: 2010 and 2012.

Details

Toggling the button toggles all exceptions in Common Language Runtime Exceptions group to be selected (or deselected):

Notes:

  1. If using Just My Code, both Thrown and Unhandled columns will be affected.
    (I do not use Just My Code so please let me know if deselecting Unhandled makes any sense).

  2. Deselected button is not equal to "Do not break on all CLR exceptions".
    Some exceptions might be selected (manually through Debug -> Exceptions) — just not all of them.

Thanks

This extension would not exist without the help of Sam Harwell of Tunnel Vision Laboratories.

Future plans

I am considering looking into Exception Assistant to quickly unselect the current exception if required.
However after enjoyable experience of two days of unmanaged VS debugging, I am not very keen on pursuing it soon.
