Can I enable/disable breaking on Exceptions programmatically?

Question

I want to be able to break on Exceptions when debugging... like in Visual Studio 2008\'s Menu Debug/Exception Dialog, except my program has many valid exceptions before I get to

Wrap your try catch blocks in #if DEBUG

    public void Foo()
    {
        #if DEBUG
        try
        #endif
        {
            //Code goes here
        }
        #if DEBUG
        catch (Exception e)
        {
            //Execption code here
        }
        #endif
    }

I like to keep the curly braces outside of the #if that way it keeps the code in the same scope if inside or outside of debug.

If you still want the execption handeling but want more detail you can do this

        try
        {
            //code
        }
        catch (FileNotFoundException e)
        {
            //Normal Code here
            #if DEBUG
            //More Detail here
            #endif
        }
        #if DEBUG
        catch (Exception e)
        {
            //handel other exceptions here
        }
        #endif
