调试时似乎反复抛出异常

Question

I am debugging an exception in my ASP.NET Application (C# , visual studio). this exception is thrown at the top level of another thread (this is not the problem, i changed that behaviour to not throw a top level exception).

I was just wondering about this: This Exception kills the whole worker process. But, when i am debugging, the debugger stops at that exception and it seems to be 'thrown' repeatedly (whenever i press continue, it will stop at that same line again). It does not execute the line before again, so it really stops at that special exception.

Is this just because of a special behaviour of the debugger? Or is that exception also thrown repeatedly when i am not debugging it?

Thanks in advance!

The Visual Studio debugger doesn't let the thread die due to the unhandled exception. The exception isn't being rethrown, the debugger doesn't let the line continue since it will crash the process. If the debugger wasn't attached, then IIS would give you the yellow screen of death and the event log would have been populated with the information contained within.

This is the same behavior for all applications, web or client side while debugging.
