Question

The following bit of code catches the EOS Exception

using (var reader = new BinaryReader(httpRequestBodyStream)) {      try {         while (true) {             bodyByteList.Add(reader.ReadByte());         }     } catch (EndOfStreamException) { } } 

So why do I still receive first-chance exceptions in my console?

A first chance exception of type ‘System.IO.EndOfStreamException’ occurred in mscorlib.dll

Is there a way to hide these first chance exception messages?

Answer 1

The point of ‘first-chance’ exceptions is that you’re seeing them pre-handler so that you can stop on them during debugging at the point of throwing. A ‘second-chance’ exception is one that has no appropriate handler. Sometimes you want to catch ‘first-chance’ exceptions because it’s important to see what’s happening when it’s being thrown, even if someone is catching it.

There’s nothing to be concerned with. This is normal behavior.
