在Visual Studio中将调试器上移

Question

Visual studio (I'm using Community 2015) allows you to drag and drop the yellow execution pointer around in the same function.

Is there a way to move that pointer up the stack, and especially when the debugger is waiting on the user after an exception has been thrown?

EDIT: Ideally no user code should execute during that process, as it can mess things up with other variables

Answer 1

Use the 'Step Out' functionality.

Shift + F11

is the shortcut by default.

Just a caveat: stepping out will execute the rest of the code in the method before going back up the stack.

Answer 2

I found a way. This is maybe not the easiest way around, but it's always possible to

• first drag and drop the yellow arrow to the end of the current function
• the execute as many step-out (Shift-F11) and "drag-to-end-of-function" as required

Of course it will "execute" some code, but if carefully done, it's only stack managing code, not user code, thus should not interfere with user variables.
