Since a couple of weeks the Visual Studio (2008 9.0.30729.1 SP) Exception Assistant has stopt appearing while debugging using the C# IDE. Instead the old ugly and useless debug dialog comes up:

DebugExceptionModal

To make sure, I've checked the following:

  • "Tools / Options / Debugging / General / Enable the exception assistant" is on.
  • "Debug / Exceptions / Common Language Runtime Exceptions / Thrown" is on.
  • I reset my Visual Studio Settings.
  • I googled.
  • I checked all relevant stackoverflow questions.

How can I get the Exception Assistant back? Who gives me the golden tip?
