Disable Visual Basic Err object while debugging

Question

I have a windows service written in VB.NET and for error logging at runtime it uses the Err object of Visual Basic. When I am debugging the service it is not giving me any error but at the same time it is setting the Err object with number 13 which means I have a type mismatch somewhere (According to Error List) Any idea how I can forcefully throw the runtime exception while debugging? I have tried commenting the below code but no luck:-

On Error Resume Next

You can use Err.Raise() method or Throw Err.GetException() method if Err has any error.

If Err.Number <> 0 Then
    Throw Err.GetException()
End If

OR

If Err.Number <> 0 Then
    Err.Raise(Number:=Err.Number, Source:=Err.Source, Description:=Err.Description, HelpFile:=Err.HelpFile, HelpContext:=Err.HelpContext)
End If

But this will raise the exception not at the point at which exception actually occurred. I anyways have the exception details so Raise will not help either.

Err.GetException returns Exception, which you can use to identify the code where the mismatch is occurring and then you can handle that in a better way. btw turning on the Option Strict for vb.net project may help you in identifying the problem at compile time also.
