Attribute to ignore method in debugging -

Question

I have a small logging method that I don't want to step through in normal debugging sessions in Visual Studio. I thought that there was an attribute to mark methods in a way that the debugger would automatically skip over them, but I can't find it in MSDN, and my googling hasn't turned up anything useful. Am I misremembering things? Is there an attribute that does this?

Felt rather short for an answer - didn't feel like expanding on it. Besides, the "Related" list now shows a duplicate right at the top of the list. :-) — JimmiTh, Nov 21 '13 at 17:14
I guess we have different "related" lists? "VSIX extension for VS2012 not running when debugging" is mine. — Reacher Gilt, Nov 21 '13 at 17:25

There is an attribute you can use called DebuggerStepThrough (MSDN):

using System.Diagnostics

...

[DebuggerStepThrough]
public void MyMethod() {
    ...
