Despite the fact that exceptions are expensive to process they are positively a great thing for debugging applications and making software more reliable. The challenge is when exceptions are used incorrectly; specifically, when they are used to respond to normal conditions instead of exceptional conditions. Using first chance exceptions in the debugger is a way to ferret out the hidden exceptions that the application is generating so that one can go back and prevent them from happening in the first place. First chance exceptions are exposed via Visual Studio and can be leveraged in any language that compiles to the CLR. The starting point for learning how to leverage first chance exceptions is to expose a situation where hidden exceptions are causing a performance problem.
