Edit-And-Continue: Ignore "unable To Apply This Change While Debugging"
May 13, 2010
When using VB.Net (2008) and paused in debugging, Edit-And-Continue is a great time-saver. However if you change any module/class-level information (variable, sub/function signature, etc), you get the error message like this:
"unable to apply this change while debugging"
While I can understand the technical challenge to making this work (and why it would be hard), it leaves me in a tight spot with just a few options:
1) Restart and recompile and get the program back to the same state
2) Continue debugging without making the change, and risk forgetting
3) Type up a reminder note to make the change All of which are annoying.Now I know that option '4) Just actually make the change' may not be possible. but does anybody know how to enable the following 'technically easy' possibility?
4) Let me change the code, get it flagged with the purple squiggly underline, so I can save it, but just ignore the change until recompile
I have checked the Tools|options|debug|edit and continue, nothing appears to let me do this.

I'm writing in Visual Basic, using Visual Studio Standard 2008, targetting framework 3.5.When debugging, I pause code and edit it in my Startup Project, then continue running.Where the code moves into one of my non-startup projects, I am sure I used to be able to edit that code and continue running.Now, whenever I try and do that, I get a dialog stating that "Changes are not allowed when the debugger has been attached to an already running process", even though I can still edit code in the already-running startup project.All of my code is in VB, there's no weird language crossover thing going on. Why can't I edit-and-continue my non-startup projects?

I recently moved my Application that was running off of Window XP and created in VS 2005 over to a box that's running Windows7.Now, when I try to debug, I can't edit. In the lower portion of the screen, it gives me this error: Cannot currently modify this text in the editor. It is read only.
Under Tools->Options->Debugging, Edit and Continue are already selected; so it's something else. Also, under project properties->compile I have it set to Cofiguration (Active Debug) and Platform (Active Any CPU).

64 bit is a wonderful thing, except that MS currently has no plans to make a 64-bit IDE. However, you CAN compile your program to be 64 bit using AnyCPU or x64 compile options. However, by using either of those options, you cannot edit-and-continue.To enable edit-and-continue on an x64 machine, you must set your compile option to x86 in the Platform property of 'Project Settings > Compile'. If you do not have that option available, be sure that you select 'Tools > Options > Projects and Solutions > General > Show Advanced Build Configurations'.

Why can't I activate Edit And Continue? When I go into the Options, "Enable Edit And Continue" is checked but it's not allowing me to edit code at run time.

There are 2 ways we can add .vb files.We can add them as a link and choose not to copy. Or we can add them and copy.The way I did it in vb.6 is equivalent with add them as link and choose not to copy.Also what's the point of copying to target folder anyway? I want the original linked file to be updated when I change the file during debuging.

In the last day or two I've lost the ability to edit code while the program is running (and halted at a breakpoint).I also can't instantiate otherwise unused test variables for purposes of examination - I'm told they don't exist in the current context.Also System. Diagnostics.Debug doesn't work anymore.the error message generated when attempting to edit is :Changes are not allowed in the following cases:
- When the debugger has been attached to an already running process.
- The code being debugged was optimized at build or run time.
- The assembly being debugged is loaded as domain-neutral.
- The assembly being debugged was loaded through reflection.
I suspect that optimizations are being performed that are causing all this but I can't find where they are being set nor why they have changed.tools/options/debug shows that Edit and Continue is enabled although it is grayed out while the progarm is running. Windows 7, X86.

Opened a solution on which Edit & Continue worked in VB2008. Now at a breakpoint, editing of source code cannot be accomplished. No error messages - keystrokes are ignored. Any idea as to what we should do to get Edit & Continue.Price Brattin, SQLServer & SharePoint 2010 MCP, Microsoft Dynamics SL Consultant?

I've been using the vs2010 beta but I can't seem to get edit and continue to work.
Compile -> Advanced Options -> Target platform is set to x86 (Compile -> Platform is disabled and set to Active (Any Cpu)?).Options -> Debugging -> Edit-and-continue is checked but grayed out. Presumably for the same reason I can't debug.Options -> Historical Debugging is set to Events Only. Disabling it doesn't help.I get no warnings when trying to modify files while debugging, they're just read-only (shows a lock icon in tab).
What are some other options that might be disabling edit-and-continue?

I have a problem when i want to E&C on break mode.I turn off Optimized code generation but i still haved the problem!Here, Build>Configuration manager, when set configuration to release, i get an error like "Changes are not allowd when the debugger has been attached to an already running process or the code being debugged was optimized at build on run time". in Other Side when set it to debug, the breakpoints not be hit and have a error like "The breakpoint will not currently be hit.No symbols have been loaded for this document".I use Win7 x64,Visual studio 2008 and also set my project's platform target to X86?

It's kinda overkill (i7, 8GB, SDD, W7 x64) for what I actually need but it is supposed to last for a few years.For maintenance issues I had to install Visual Studio 2005 and it turns out that "Edit and Continue" wasn't working . I found a thread here HTML Code:[URL] in which I read that E&C is not supported in 64-bit OS.

I have a WPF application running in debug mode, and I would like to change the XAML while the application is still running. I'm not asking for Edit-and-Continue. I don't mind that I will have to restart the application for the changes to become effective. I just want to be able to make changes to the XAML file while the application is still running, rather than having to (1) remember what I want to change in the UI, (2) close the application, (3) recall what I want to change and make the change.

I have a solution with two projects. The main project connects to the second project via a reference, and the reference path is local to my machine. It looks like it references the .exe file.So when I publish the main project (ClickOnce), i get the following error:
Application validation did not succeed. Unable to continue.In the log file, under Error Details, it says
System.Deployment.Application.InvalidDeploymentException (RefDefValidation)
- Reference in the manifest does not match the identity of the download assembly Project2.exe
- Source: System.Deployment
How can I include this second project? Should I publish it, then reference the published files? What do i reference? The .application file?Is there a way to just include this second project, so when I do publish the main project, the second one just goes along with it?

I am working with visual studio 2008, developing a simple windows form app. in VB. but a very weird situation has presented itself (at least I think its weird).When I try F5 or any other way to start the debugger I get this message:"Error while trying to run project: Unable to start debugging.The debugger cannot connect to the remote computer. This may bebecause the remote computer does not exist or a firewall may be preventing communication to the remote computer. Please see Helpfor assistance."Needless to say, Help is Helpless.The weird thing about it is that this only appears if my computer is not connected to the home network and only in VB. When I try to debug on any other language it works fine, or if I connect to the network then VB debugs fine. I do not think I am using a remote debugger.

I'm not able to use edit and continue feature while debugging my project. I'm using VB 2008 Express Edition on a 32bit winXP version.
I already check on MSDN and found that this feature can be enable in dialog Tools/Options/Debugging.... However, I do not have a Debugging entry in the treeview in this option dialog. I also used to reset the Import/Export setting features in the tool menue. However this did not solve the problem as well. Then I tried to import some settings and I was able to select the option for debugging. However in the tools/option menu, the debugging feature is still not visible. Edit and Continue is not working as well
Its really a pain to debug with the current setup, as I always have to restart my application when I did some minor changes.

okay so i just installed win 7 clean version 64bit and installed vs 2008 on it i was loving my new 64bit OS up until i discovered i couldnt edit code in vb2008 while debugging and continue from where i paused.
then luckily i stumbled upon a place in program properties-->compile-->advanced compile options and i set it to x86 (instead of any) and it worked and i could use edit and continue feature as im used to it..2 questions tho
1st of all how do i make it by default for every project i create or open for the compile options to be x86?
2nd of all, im no programming guru, but i mean if i can edit and continue while debugging in 32 bit mode but cant while debugging in 64bit mode, and since its possible to make programs suitable for x86 and x64 at the same time, why oh why would cant the debugger simply debug in x86 mode and still compile the program as suitable for x86 and x64?
am i to understand that everytime i want to compile a program suitable for x86 and x64, i have to change the compile option to x86, completely be certain that im done with the editing of the program (which im never certain of), and when im ready to buld and release the program i have to change the compile options back to suitable for any (x64 and x86)?

So I have an array which holds instances of a structure. The structure contains various string properties.
I'm looking to modify each instance of a structure within this array by doing the following:
For Each stuInstance As StuInstance In arrStuInstances stuInstance.strCarName = "Benz"
But I found that this in fact fails to really change it permanently. If I do the following loops in the given order:For Each stuInstance As StuInstance In arrStuInstances

My application has to do a lot of work when I press as single button. When he is doing this he got to changes sometimes a few tings in a textbox. Sometimes the calculation can take more then 10 - 15 minutes, is there any way to make it doesn't say not responding? And you are able to work further in the program. I did try backgroundworker but I'm not able to edit the textbox.

I don't know what this is called or I'd search for it since I'm sure it's been discussed. How do you pick a form as the default form that opens when you start debugging? As in, I have a form I want to debug but when I click debug, a different one opens with no means of getting to the other forms.
