Use IntelliTrace Historical Debugging for hard-to-fix bugs

IntelliTrace is magic when used with Visual Studio 2019 Enterprise Edition.

I will try to make my point inside this article.

The example

I created a very simple console application:

There are few important points of this stack call:

• All the exceptions are handled
• A custom exception will be thrown inside BreakfastRepository

Sometime Visual Studio Does Not Break on Exceptions

This happens by design.

When I try to run the application above, nothing happens. Or at least, apparently everything works.

The code runs and apparently everything is working.

This is because a custom exception was thrown inside BreakfastRepository and it was handled inside Program.cs.
