How do I set a breakpoint on an exception? Ideally I want to be able to see the call stack and local variables from the code that threw the exception.

When the debugger breaks, it shows you where the exception was thrown. You can also add or delete exceptions. With a solution open in Visual Studio, use Debug > Windows > Exception Settings to open the Exception Settings window. Provide handlers that respond to the most important exceptions.
To turn off stop on exceptions press " Ctrl + Alt + E ". This will open the Exceptions window . Untick "Common Language Runtime Exceptions - Thrown". That would prevent it from pausing from within the delegate, but not when it's rethrown on Wait .
I haven't used Visual Studio for 2 years, but from memory:
Ctrl + Alt + E Will bring exception management screen, make sure to check break on all exceptions, a must have imho :)
EDIT : My memory not that bad :) Just check Thrown on Common Language Runtime Exceptions if your are using .NET (CLR = .NET)
EDIT 2 : By the way, since exceptions are generally a bad coding practice and should be avoided as possible, i suggest to let that option enabled all the time. If some exceptions just can't be avoided (because of someone else, of course :D) just uncheck its type or ancestor in the exception type tree.

The exact visual studio command name is Debug.Exceptions
Main Menu > Debug > Exceptions (when solution is open)
