Does anyone have any tips for debugging exceptions in a C# object initializer block? The object initializer syntax is basically all or nothing, which can make it especially difficult to troubleshoot inside of a LINQ query. Short of breaking the object creation out to a separate method, is there anything I can do to see which property setter is throwing an exception?
Disabling the option to step over property setters [Step over properties and operators (Managed Only)] can allow you to step into the property setters.
Otherwise, the best option is often to just break it out and debug it outside of the LINQ statement. You can wrap your initialization parameters into an anonymous type in linq, and construct your object(s) outside of your linq statement for debugging purposes.
