How to find an ignored exception

Probably staying late to fix a few bugs today, but maybe SO can help me. Does anyone know if there is a way to "track" where some ignored exceptions are happening?

Basically I find some System.OverflowExceptions in System.Drawing that cause some graphs to not draw (red XX syndrome).

The problem is that I can only say this from the Debug window, and I cannot have my life find where it is being thrown. I guess the coder where this is happening wrote

try {something} finally {blah}

or...

try {something} catch {// Blah blah blah}

If I'm SOL as far as possible, maybe someone can know what methods in System.Drawing can cause StackOverflow to drop ...

Thank!

You can configure the debugger to break the exception even if it has been handled.

You can customize the behavior via Debug -> Exceptions .... In your specific case, you should check Debug -> Exceptions ... -> Common Language Exceptions -> System -> System.OverflowException:

You might be able to use FxCop / StyleCop to get what you want . I'm not sure if you need a custom rule to find the try / finally script.
