Strange issue with the VS2010 debugger

I've installed visual studio 2010.

When unhandled exception is thrown, nothing happen...

I created new windows form application and wrote 1 line in the form_load function:

    private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        throw new Exception("");
    }

And still nothing happen. The only thing I can see is the "A first chance exception of type 'System.Exception' occurred in WindowsFormsApplication1.exe" in the output window.

It looks like this error was catch but I dont know how... (This line is the only line I wrote in this project).

How can I solve this issue?

Thanks!

You could also register your program for the UnhandledExceptionEvent. To do so write the following into your Program.cs before calling Application.Run(new MyForm()):
AppDomain.CurrentDomain.UnhandledException += OnCurrentDomainUnhandledException;

Then declare your event catcher like private static void OnCurrentDomainUnhandledException(object sender, UnhandledExceptionEventArgs e) and do what ever you want to do with that exception.

Are you referring to the behaviour where the debugger breaks on the exception? If so, this is configurable and off by default. If memory serves: Debug -> Exceptions... -> Common Language Runtime Exceptions, check "Thrown".
