Selectively ignore thrown exceptions in C# code

Question

I have a function in C# code where a NullReferenceException is thrown periodically (expected behavior), but caught. Is there a way I can tell the Visual Studio debugger to n

Answer 1

Assuming the exception does not bubble up to the caller, this can be achieved with DebuggerHiddenAttribute.

From the remarks

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.

    [DebuggerHidden]
    private static void M()
    {
        try
        {
            throw new NullReferenceException();
        }
        catch (Exception)
        {
            //log or do something useful so as not to swallow.
        }            
    }
