I use. VS 2013 Express
When debugging, I need to stop automatically on exceptions.
try to follow this.
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/d14azbfh.aspx#AddExceptionsCommand
It says I need to add Exceptions command to the Debug menu
On the Tools menu, click Customize.
The Customize dialog box appears.
Click the Commands tab and, in the Menu bar list, click Debug.
Click Add Command.
In Categories in the Add Command dialog box, click Debug.
In Commands, click Exceptions and then click OK.
But in stage 6, in Commands there is no Exeptions
Also I tried to remove Enable just my code, And it didn't work.
Just a FYI ---
Im am using VS Express 2010 (VB) and didn't see the debug exceptions.
Based on the screen shot above I just pushed CRLT-ALT-E and it opened.. (!)
Its a bit unclear to me, if VB 2010 Express has this option or not, or how to unhide it, but the key click combo opened it.
I was then able to turn off the option I needed
In my case the "PInvokeStackImbalance"

Another user has reported the missing 'exceptions' on the 'debug' menu to Microsoft and actually got an acknowlegement from Microsoft (though not from the product team and not confirmation that it is a bug).

For what it's worth, you can add your vote to this report at that site; I'm experiencing this problem and I have done so too.
Here's a potential work-around: the 'exceptions' is present in the Visual Studio Express for Desktop. And you can install that edition side-by-side with Web edition. If you can figure out a way to invoke your project executable from the debugger in the Desktop edition, you'd have control over exceptions there.
The exceptions menu isn't shown in Visual Studio Web Developer Express. It is only shown in Visual C# Express.
You can however break on all exceptions. You can try to turn off "Just My Code" debugging, which will catch exceptions thrown in CLR code and linked libraries.
To do this, open Tools -> Options -> Debugging -> General, and uncheck "Just My Code" (or Enable Just My Code).
if it doesn't work try
Debug -> Exceptions -> Common Language Runtime Exceptions - check "when thrown"
if you don't see exceptions try to change your settings following this guide
Refer here for documentation.
update
if it still not working try this
Tools menu >> Import and Export Settings >> Reset all settings. Then choose C# Development Environment.
Many of the customization and integration features for Visual Studio's IDE are not available in the free Express editions, but you should be able to get to the Exceptions menu easily enough without using them.
Press F5 to start debugging, then select Debug / Exceptions... Turn on the check box for "C++ Exceptions" "Thrown". Hit "OK"

I am working with Visual Studio Ultimate 2013.
I would like to add controls to a dialog-box via the Dialog Editor Tab.
It usually appears in my IDE on the left side of the Resource View pane, as a small tag labeled Toolbox which I can expand by clicking on.
However, under some circumstances it simply disappears (thank you, Microsoft, for this lovely feature).
I'm not sure about the exact scenario, but it happened after I added a new dialog-box.
Can you please help me recover this?
I tried TOOLS --> Customize and TOOLS --> Options, but was unable to trace it.
Thank you.
try view -> toolbox, or Ctrl + W,X
I didn't use MSVS since v2008 (but I never was good at it). The version I'm talking about is 2012. I work mostly in Emacs, but for the team I must create MSVS projects and maintain them in a workable state. Now once I create a file, MSVS would not let me add it to the solution (click on "Project" in "Solution Explorer" -> context menu -> select "Add" -> "Add Existing Item" is grayed out.)
This used to work two days ago. Since then I've installed a plugin through NuGet that allows adding custom mime-types to IIS used in MSVS for ASP.NET projects. That was all the changes I've made.
How do I troubleshoot this? Why can this possibly happen? What could possibly be the reason for disabling this functionality?
EDIT
Sorry, it looks like it isn't possible to do it while "debugging" the project - somehow I must have fatfingered a debug session w/o noticing it. When I restarted the Studio, it prompted me about the open debugging session. After restarting the Studio the functionality was back. Still, it's strange you can't add files during debugging... or maybe I'm missing something.
I had the same problem today. The solution is to leave the debug mode in visual studio. Then the before grayed out menu point "Add New Item" project is available.
btw: you leave the debug mode in visual studio (2013) with Shift+F5 or click the red square in the gui.
Add Existing option is disable when you are in debug mode please stop debugging then try to add existing item.
I'm running Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 Express for Windows Phone. My problem is I'm not getting the solution configurations drop down list.I tried a lot but I'm not getting it.
Click the Tools menu, click Settings, and then click Expert Settings.
The Solution Configuration list box appears in the Standard toolbar. Click Debug or Release.
If still not visible, check this
I have read this article but it applies to web projects with a .csproj... What about a 'web site'?
http://www.ninjatrader.com/support/forum/showthread.php?t=15671
People at work here tell me to just response.write my way to debug the web sites but I really miss the attach to process that is in the professional edition of vs2010.. or maybe I have to get used to response.write debugging?
(Reason I am not debugging is ektron 8.0 does not compile is vs2010.. so I must attach to process.. or use vs2008)
Visual Studio 2010 Express Edition supports Attach to process but it is available only in Expert Settings.
Go to Tools->Settings->Expert Settings.
After this change, you should see Attach to Process button in Debug menu.
It isn't available for VS2100 Express. Check the link. http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/vstudio/c6wf8e4z(v=vs.100).aspx
An option for websites hosted on another application (Like IIS) is to use the property pages.
Right Click on Project/Website in Solution Explorer->Property Pages->Start Options
Launch VS2010 Express (or VS2012 Express) as Administrator
Set "Start Action" radio-button to "Don't open a page. Wait for a request from an external application."
Set "Server" radio-button to "Use Custom Server"
Set the "Base URL" textbox to your site url.
Verify the Debuggers: ASP.NET option is checked.
Hit F5 to launch the debugger, then request the page in the browser.
Then, linking to the website is as easy as pressing the play-debug button and navigating to your url.
NB: This was tested in VS Express for Web 2012 (ver. 11.0.50727.1) on a Web Site project.
Just like said in the post above, you can use "Attach to process" in visual studio express. But it's not necessary to change your settings to "expert settings". All you have to do is add the command to the debug menu.
Tools-> Customize -> Commands -> Menu bar: Debug -> Add Command... -> Debug -> Attach to Process
Try this:
right click on toolbar/menu Customize/tab Commands/button Add Command/left list Debug/right list Attach to Process.../button OK/button Close.
for me works crtl-alt-p shortcut too.
.. voila!
When debugging a project in Visual Studio 2005, I have recently noticed a brief appearance of the "Object Test Bench" window. This window appears and then disappears after less than a second and does not look like the normal "Object Test Bench" window one sees when not debugging, as it looks like this:
alt text http://www.beok.co.il/images/ObjectTestBench.jpg
I would like to stop this window appearing and have tried the following:
Closing all Object Bench Test windows when not debugging
Resetting Visual Studio to default settings (devenv /ResetSettings)
Any other ideas?
Migrated? Hmm no code in this question. Anyway is the Object Test Bench perhaps open, but docked, so it pops up when the IDE state changes?
More info on the OTB on MSDN here :)
Edit: Here is what my VS 2005 OTB looks like.

I also have the same problem. I once had JetBrain's Resharper 4.5 installed. I uninstalled it after my trial expired, and I think that's when I noticed the Object Test Bench popping up when I debug.
Did either/both of you have Resharper or any other Visual Studio add-on installed/uninstalled before this problem?

I had what may be a similar problem: not just the Oject Test Bench, but also Breakpoint, Call Stack, and other windows popped up all over whenever I ran in Debug mode. It started during a project with a single page containing several (probably incompatible) jQuery scripts.
What worked for me was to click on Window -> "Auto Hide All", then again on Window -> "Reset Window Layout". That seemed to resolve it.
Go to on Window -> "Auto Hide All", after go on Window -> "Reset Window Layout". That will resolve the problem it.
