Question

I have the following code that is trying to catch the exception caused by a disconnect:

try
{
    DataReaderLoadOperation op = dataReader.LoadAsync((uint)readBuffer.MaxLength());
    await op;  //  <-- Debugger show COMException here
    ReceiveCallback(op, op.Status);
}
catch (COMException e)
{
    Logger.Info("{0} disconnected. (Waiting)", this);
    Logger.Debug("{0} exception = {1}", this, e);
    OnDisconnected();
}

Why does my code not catch it? Here is the dump of the exception:

System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException occurred   
  HResult=-2147014842   
  Message=An existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80072746)   
  Source=mscorlib   
  ErrorCode=-2147014842

Change your debugger settings to not break on first chance exceptions.
