title: How to disable exception assistant and unhandled exception popup in Visual Studio 2008 Express
body: <p>I am using Visual Studio 2008 Express and am writing unit tests where there are many expected unhandled exceptions. This cause numerous exception assistant popups to display when running these tests in the debugger. </p>
  
  <p>I have disabled the exception assistant in the VS options, but a different unhandled exception dialog pops up instead. I know it is possible to get rid of these with Visual Studio Professional, but how do you do this with the express edition? </p>
  
  <p>By the way, I am using <code>Assert.Throws</code> instead of the <code>ExpectedException attribute</code> (NUnit), which causes this, but I want to use the Assert.Throws instead. Thanks!</p>
