Don't stop debugger at THAT exception when it's thrown and caught
In tools/exceptions, I've set the option that the debugger stops when an exception is thrown. Whether it is caught or not .
How do I exclude an exception of that rule? Somewhere in my code there is a caught exception that is part of the program logic. So I obviously don't want that exception to stop the debugger each time it is hit.
Example: I want to ignore the nullreference exception (which is caught) on line 344 . I want to stop at all other exceptions

DebuggerHidden is your friend!
The common language runtime attaches no semantics to this attribute. It is provided for use by source code debuggers. For example, the Visual Studio 2005 debugger does not stop in a method marked with this attribute and does not allow a breakpoint to be set in the method. Other debugger attributes recognized by the Visual Studio 2005 debugger are the DebuggerNonUserCodeAttribute and the DebuggerStepThroughAttribute.
Tested on VS2010 and works great.
While DebuggerStepThrough seems to also work for some specific debugger versions, DebuggerHidden seems to work for a wider range of situations based on the comments to both answers.
Note that both options do not currently work with iterator block methods or for async/await methods. This could be fixed in a later update of Visual Studio.
