Good Way to Debug Visual Studio Designer Errors


Is there a good way to debug errors in the Visual Studio Designer?

In our project we have tons of UserControls and many complex forms. For the complex ones, the Designer often throws various exceptions which doesn't help much, and I was wondering if there's some nice way to figure out what has gone wrong.

The language is C#, and we're using Visual Studio 2005.
