Workaround

Putting the code inside Try-Catch block does not cause the ArcMap to crash.User replied that the workaround does not work for him. Sometimes Arc Map crashes even if we put the code inside Try-Catch block.User’s comments:“I reported, as an alternate solution, that putting the code inside Try-Catchblock can avoid the ArcMap crashing while debugging.However, some code does make it crash even if it's inside Try-Catch block.Please try to debug the attached solution file, add the Add-in button called"Test_Exception" from "Add-in Controls" category, and run it. An exceptionoccurs at the first line inside Try-Catch, and Arc Map will crash.”From Steve Van Esch:The Try Catch code is incorrect, the Catch is explicity being set to trap only COM exceptions, in my case I was getting an index out of bounds exception. Not qualifyingthe Catch will allow it to trap all exceptions. Catch End Try
