Ever wondered how to raise a bug/suggestion for the .NET Framework? I have. And I finally came across it here

We encountered a breaking change from 1.1 to 2.0 with the RadioButtonList and raised it here.


$exception; exceptional

May 10, 2006

I have been using Visual Studio 2003 since the first beta. Until today however, I never knew about $exception. This post is a reminder to me that the Locals Window is my friend.

There is a local variable in the locals window when the debugger breaks due to an unhandled exception that holds the thrown exception. I cringe at the thought of time wasted trying to get the same information via other, shall we say less effecient, means.
