Question

When unhandled exceptions are encountered in VStudio usually the debugger highlights the line YELLOW as the line that threw the exception.

However sometimes I encounter exceptions where the debugger highlights them green as shown:

I’ve always treated them as normal exceptions, but today I decided to ask since google/bing produced no results for “Visual Studio Green Exceptions”

Answer 1

The line is highlighted yellow if that is the line that directly threw the exception (typically a throw statement).
It’s green if the line is a call to a different function that threw the exception (typically a call to a .Net function that threw an exception).
