Moving Current execution position in an ASP.NET project

Question

I'm not sure why but in my asp.net project in this code block when i get an exception on GetRequestStream() i cannot move my cursor to another point in the function as i normally do when i get a function.

The reason is Unable to set the next statement to this location. The next statement cannot be set to another function.

Is there something i can do to allow this?

    static public CookieContainer login(string user, string pass)
    {
        var cookie = new CookieContainer();
        var request = (HttpWebRequest)HttpWebRequest.Create(@"https://www.somesite.com/users/login");
        request.CookieContainer = cookie;
        {
            var postData = string.Format("ref=http://www.somesite.com/&username={0}&password={1}", user, pass);
            request.Method = "POST";
            request.ContentType = "application/x-www-form-urlencoded";
            request.ContentLength = postData.Length;
            using (Stream writeStream = request.GetRequestStream())
            {
                UTF8Encoding encoding = new UTF8Encoding();
                byte[] bytes = encoding.GetBytes(postData);
                writeStream.Write(bytes, 0, bytes.Length);
            }
        }
        var resp = request.GetResponse();
        return cookie;
    }

Answer 1

You should try putting a breakpoint at the line where the exception occurs.

Another option is to put in a try/catch in your code, and place a breakpoint in the catch.

Answer 2

Where are you trying to place the cursor?

The message seems to stay that you are trying to place it in a different funtion. If you want to place the cursor in the calling function, you might be able to move to the return cookie; statement, hit the F10 key 2 times, then move your cursor in the calling function (where you should be by now).
