You may also want to try WinDBG with the SOS extension. Here's slides 
with code and examples on using WinDBG to debug .NET applications:

http://www.slideshare.net/CoryFoy/debugging-net-applications-with-windbg

What I'd try is using the File menu to attach to the process, then when 
it breaks typing in ".loadby sos mscorwks". Next type in "sxe clr" and 
then "g". It will now break on all CLR exceptions. You can type 
"!printexception" to see the exception details when it breaks, and "g" 
to make it go again. You can also type "!help" to see all of the SOS 
commands.
