I have my client calling a WCF Server I'm hosting locally, right now I'm debugging the client so on the server I'm purposely throwing a FaultException to see how the client would handle it.

The part that is annoying is that the debugger pauses on the line that throws the FaultException. How do I get it to NOT do that? I looked in Visual Studio's Options (Debugging) and don't see anything that resembles an option for this.

Use the DebuggerStepThrough attribute on the method you wish the debugger to skip over.

You can configure the debugger to ignore certain exceptions by going to "Debug -> Exceptions" (shortcut: Ctrl+Alt+E) and unchecking "user-unhandled" for the exceptions or their namespace.

Disable either System.ServiceModel.FaultException`1 For Typed FaultExceptions (FaultException< TDetail >) or System.ServiceModel.FaultException for both typed and untyped FaultExceptions.

Find both by searching for the words "Fault" with "Find ..." or by expending "Common Language Runtime Exceptions-> System -> System.ServiceModel"
