Visual Studio 2008 Error: vshost32 has stopped working

My development PC is a Windows 7 64-bit with Visual Studio 2008 (yeah.. i’m lagging behind darn it ). Most of the time, I need to write/debug application in 32-bit(x86) environment.

Occasionally, the debugging session will abruptly ended, leaving me just this window:

Apparently there was an exception happened, and that’s how the 32-bit debugger handles it. Sucks right?

So in order to get the Exception details, you just need to put one single try-catch to cover the whole application, and put a breakpoint inside the catch section.

By now, you should be able to get the exception details whenever you x86 debugging session abruptly ended.
