Finding swallowed and async exceptions using IntelliTrace in VS2015

This post details the use of IntelliTrace in Visual Studio 2015 to diagnose two specific debugging scenarios: finding swallowed exceptions and identifying the source of exceptions in asynchronous code. It demonstrates how to use the IntelliTrace timeline and historical debugging features to trace exceptions to their catch points, even when they are not immediately apparent in the call stack. For async code, it highlights the use of the Diagnostic Tools window to find the actual exception location when Visual Studio's default debugger behavior is insufficient.
