Product: Exception Hunter
Exception Hunter allows you to analyze methods to see what exceptions can potentially be thrown, but can it be used the other way, to find the methods that a certain type of exception will occur in?

Exception hunter does not offer a view over the types of exceptions to show the methods that they occur in in the user interface, however, the command-line version of Exception Hunter can create a report that is organized this way. To use the command-line version of Exception Hunter to generate an HTML report listing the type of exception and the methods that it occurs in:

Hunt.exe /assembly:MyAssembly.exe /allpublicmethods /fast:on /er:output.htm

The full list of command-line arguments can be found in the product help.
