void SomeMethod(

Here's an article that answers a part of my question: http://www.codeproject.com/KB/trace/DbMonNET.aspx

i.e. how to capture the output of the Debug/Console window. But, it seems that there's no way of getting the stack trace from this output. Looking from this perspective it looks like a bad approach anyway.

FURTHER RESEARCH: Looks like these exceptions are appearing because they are handled in some other dll that is not linked properly, and they are handled there instead of my try/catch blocks. This is probably the place where I should be looking my error for i.e. where there's a dll reference I should instead add a project reference.

MORE RESEARCH: Enable breaking at exceptions in Visual Studio main menu: Debug -> Exceptions -> Check the type of exceptions you want the application to break at(Common Language Runtime)...There's no better way to deal with exceptions.
