Question

Some simple rows of code below:

string[] countries = new string[1];
string[] cities = new string[1];

countries[0] = "USA";
countries[1] = "England";
cities[0] = "Chicago";  

When Visual Studio throws the null exception it references the following row and not the row where the exception occurred:

I know the line number is correct when you view details of the problem. However, I often spend more time than necessary searching the wrong variables because the visual representation of the exception was wrong.

Is it possible to tweak VS or do something else to solve this issue? Is it a known problem or is it just me?

Answer 1

This is apparently a known bug.
