VS 2005 in debug mode highlights blocks of code

[jack80918]

So I'm debugging some C# code in the IDE, stepping thru the lines of code, when it throws an exception. I had breakpoints on the catch code, so the window focus moves to the appropriate catch statement and highlights it as yellow (string strW32 = w32ex.Message) as expected. But what I didn't expect was that the entire set of 3 catch blocks was highlighted light-grey, as if to tell me something. If I could get a VS2005 training class I'd probably know what this means, but no such luck. Also, I cannot query the exception variables in the Immediate window, and a MessageBox.Show in the catch block will not display on the screen. Thanks in advance... catch (System.ComponentModel.Win32Exception w32ex) { string strW32 = w32ex.Message; MessageBox.Show(w32ex.Message); } catch (StackOverflowException soex) { string strSoex = soex.Message; } catch (Exception ex) { string err = ex.Message; }

Hi, try trowing a new exception and catch it elsewhere (where you call the method) passing on the original error message (perhaps include a stacktrace to recognise where things initialy went wrong) kamagurka
