.Net Jonesie - Unwind - is this new?

Thursday, November 24, 2005

I think this is a new feature, please tell me if it's not so I can kick myself.

When an exception occurs deep in some code, the reason is most likely at a much higher level, e.g.:

This exception occurred in DataSet code due to something wacky in the UI. The call stack shows how we got here:

It's very easy to navigate back through the call stack and examine variable values etc, but often you have to restart the app with a break point set in a suitable place - at least that's what I thought till I noticed this:

When you select this it unwinds the execution of your application back to the selected Frame in the call stack. How cool is that ? Very cool I think.
