If you look at the event handler for the UnhandledException of the Application object in your App.xaml.cs file, you'll see why. By default, unhandled exceptions are handled differently when a debugger is attached.
private void Application_UnhandledException(object sender, ApplicationUnhandledExceptionEventArgs e) { // If the app is running outside of the debugger then report the exception using // the browser's exception mechanism. On IE this will display it a yellow alert // icon in the status bar and Firefox will display a script error. if (!System.Diagnostics.Debugger.IsAttached) { // NOTE: This will allow the application to continue running after an exception has been thrown // but not handled. // For production applications this error handling should be replaced with something that will // report the error to the website and stop the application. e.Handled = true; Deployment.Current.Dispatcher.BeginInvoke(delegate { ReportErrorToDOM(e); }); } } Chris On 22 April 2012 14:58, Greg Keogh <g...@mira.net> wrote: > Chaps, I spent an hour this morning adding simple logging inside my new > SL4 app. I added a button and a child window to display the stack of > messages in a ListBox.
