I'm getting tired of clearing the Debugging->Exceptions option Break when thrown to get past an exception I handle properly, then setting the Break when thrown option to find the source of a subsequent exception not handled properly.

I would like a way to exclude certain try blocks from Break when thrown, with something like preprocessor directives or something. I tried recording a macro, but all it does is opens the Debugging->Exceptions dialogue.

It would be nice to specify, even at a coarser grain, which methods are exempt from Break when thrown debugging.

Is this a pipe dream?

+5  A: 

Push Alt-Ctrl-e to bring up the exceptions window.

Specify which exceptions you wish to ignore.

Nice advice, but I'm an idealist and would like to only ignore, e.g. SqlException, in certain code.

So you want to ignore it in Code X, but pay attention to it in Code Y?

Yep - I'm thinking of finding a way of communicating with the debugger dynamically.
