Visual Studio enable debug exceptions through macro

Question

This question was migrated from Super User because it can be answered on Stack Overflow. Migrated 9 years ago .

In Visual Studio I would like to break on certain exception while in debug mode. This is configured through the "Debug >> Exceptions" dialog window (see image below). Can enabling and disabling these checkboxes be controlled through a macro? I would like to add a button to a toolbar to control the enable/disable of these with just one click.

Yes, you can use a macro to toggle exceptions on or off by using the ExceptionSettings class. The problem seems to be that using the macro is really slow. The following links has code to get you started with this.
