I have an application that throws many (handled) exceptions. There is one type of exception in particular that I would like to break on.

Is it possible to make the debugger break on a specific user-defined exception? I don’t see why this wouldn’t be possible, since it does know the type of the exception that was thrown.

I can work around this by setting a breakpoint in the exception’s constructor, but it would be nice to know how to do it the ‘correct’ way.

    If you go to the Debug menu and choose Exceptions... (or press Ctrl+Alt+E), you’ll get a dialog:

    exceptions dialog

    You’ll need to click the Add... button, enter your custom type name, and make sure that the checkbox by your new exception type is selected.
