this code(i dont have rights to change it on the TFS)?

Hi,

Put a break point in your block catch and check the exception variable
"e" for example:

catch (exception e),

BR

Fabien, tnx for the answer, but i cant modify the code and it`s just
catch without ()

You can set a breakpoint in the exception handler and check the debugger's
watch value, $exception. You can also type this into the immediate window to
display a summary.

Neil,
i get this in watch and immediate windows:
The name '$exception' does not exist in the current context
this is from MSDN2:
(Visual Basic and Visual C# only) If an uncaught exception occurs with
the Exception Assistant turned off, a pseudovariable $exception is added
to the Locals window. You can expand this pseudovariable to see
information on the exception.

Do (and how) i need to turn it off?
