Application does not exit after Exception is thrown

I have unusual (for me) problem with thrown exception. After exception is thrown application loops on it and doesn't exit.

if(!foundRemoteID)
{
throw new ArgumentOutOfRangeException(
          "value",
          "Remote ID was not found."
          );
}

I have inserted brakepoint on "if(!foundRemoteID)" line but the program doesn't hit it at all after firs thrown exception. It just loops over and over on "throw new (..).

-I do not have try{} catch{} blocks at all at any level. -There is no loop that contains this code

I have even tried putting it into:

try
{
(..)
}
finally
{
Enviroment.Exit(1);
}

but finally{} block is never hit.

Other throw new (..) in this class is acting same way.

Am I missing something trivial?

UPDATE: Problem is not related to my project. I have just created a simple console application that has only

throw new FileNotFoundException();

In Main() method and problem persists.

I have already tried resetting VS2010 settings to default and it didn't help.

Most likely this is not the actual behavior of your application - rather, Visual Studio is set to always break when there is an unhandled ArgumentOutOfRangeException.

You can verify this by pressing "Start without debugging".

If you want to change the settings, browse to the menu to Debug -> Exceptions and you should see the following. Then uncheck "User-unhandled."

Personally, I recommend leaving the setting the way it is in most cases. It really helps when hunting down unhandled exceptions.
