How can I prevent the debugger from entering my method when calling Exception?

and this is my desired behavior:

I tried adding the [DebuggerNonUserCode] and [DebuggerStepThrough] attributes to my Fail() method, but no luck.

You need to decorate your DebuggerHiddenAttribute method:

 [DebuggerHidden] public static void Fail() { throw new Exception("Fail"); }
