VS 2003 Tip #3: View exception information with $exception
No matter how long I use a tool there are always features I never know existed. This is one of them...
Well, in Everett the debugger team put in a little feature called $exception. The next time you crash in C# or J# go ahead and dismiss the dialog. Open the locals window and take a peek at $exception there (chills are setting in right now). Expand it and you can see all the delightful things inside the Exception object - Messages, Stacktrace, Inner Exception etc - everything you would have gotten had you put a try catch around the code and caught the exception object. Is that cool or what?
I mean, is this doc'ed anywhere!
