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"
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).
The yellow line is the line where the exception is really thrown.
The green line indicates a line that is indirectly affected.
I think the screenshot makes it clear. Note that I had to use the "Callstack" window and switch to the Main()
method in order to achieve this effect.
