When debugging a console app, Visual Studio gets stuck in an exception-reporting loop. Why?

Question

Consider this simple console application:

using System;

namespace Demo
{
    class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            t         


        

Answer 1

It doesn't do that. If the application wasn't running in the debugger, you'd get an "application quit unexpectedly" dialog - but not in Visual Studio.

While I'm not exactly sure why it behaves like that, it may be because it gives you the option to move the "currently executing line" arrow (the yellow array) to the next line that should be executed and to resume operation.

Otherwise, yes, you need to stop the application explicitly.
