I am unable to move the next statement pointer in VS2022 outside the catch block if an Exception is thrown.

If I run this code in a VS2022 (17.14.4) Unit Test Project (.Net 4.81), set a break point on the catch statement and as soon the breakpoint is hit, try to move the next statement back to one line within the try block I get an error window with the message: <<Unable to set the next statement. The attempt to unwind the callstack failed. ....>>

If I do the same in a VS2019 (16.11.47) Unit Test Project I can move the next statement pointer wherever I want. I compared the settings in both environments and did not find differences in Options or Exception Settings.

I encounter this problem even if I open the same Project from both version of Visual Studio, or if I create a plain vanilla Unit Test project for both versions.

[TestMethod]
public void TestMethod1()
{
    try
    {
        if (1 != 0) throw new Exception("Not equal!");
    }
    catch 
    {
        throw;
    }
}

What do I have to change to get the same behaviour as in VS2019?

  • Debug vs. Release build? C++ could probably optimize everything away, so there are no lines left. Not sure what C# does nowadays. Commented Jul 23 at 14:13
  • It's Debug build (C#). This code is just a sample. I have the problem in all projects, regardless if console application, class libraries, unit tests. And my colleages using VS2022 have the same problem. Commented Jul 24 at 19:55
  • I can reproduce and confirm the behavior in VS 17.14.9 in a .NET 8 app as well. Commented Jul 25 at 5:48
  • I'm having exactly the same issue with VS 2022. Any update on this? Commented Sep 5 at 5:25
