Excuse my ignorance, but I am looking for the Exceptions dialog box that is apparently in the debug menu. I have opened project, but it is still not there..nor can I find it by customizing toolbar under the debug commands. Can anyone help me with this?

I had this problem too -- for some reason, the "Exceptions" menu item was not present by default in the "Debug" menu. To add it, follow these steps:

1. select Tools-->Customize from the Visual Studio main menu
2. in the resulting dialog box, switch to the "Commands" tab
3. select "Debug" from the Categories listbox on the left side of the diloag
4. locate the "Exceptions" item in the "Commands" listbox on the right side of the dialog. Now drag and drop this "Exceptions" item into the "Debug" menu

Sorry, I'm using Visual Studio 2008 Professional and it shows up for any type of project. Maybe someone else can help you out...

Also, try posting your question here, it is a has a forum just for Visual Studio setup and installation, and a separate forum for Visual Studio debugging.

I am looking in the Debug menu on the top menu bar. This is Visual Web Developer 2008 Express Edition to be more specific. I note this because I do see Exceptions listed if I open Visual C# for creating forms applications.

Thanks, JB

Hello,

You said: "nor can I find it by customizing toolbar under the debug commands".
Are you looking in the right place? The exceptions dialog is in the debug menu at the top of the screen, not in the toolbar. It should be at in the Debug menu, right after the "Attach to Process" item.
