IDE :: Lost Edit And Continue Capability
May 12, 2012
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.

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?

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.

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.

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 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)?

I am writing a windows application in VB.Net.
My client wants an intelligent combo box with type ahead capability. For example let's I have a list of companies. I want to find my company "MetaPro". With the Microsoft combo box if you type in the first letter of the name it will bring up first one starting with that letter. For example I type in "M" it will bring up "Mass. Dept. of Ed.", I then type in "E" I get the first one starting with "E" maybe "E, G & G" where I want the first one starting with "ME".
Perhaps there is an open source solution to this or I could create a custom control. But I don't know how.

I'm presently creating an application which uses Access2007 as the database. No problem there. But Since most use Excel for data-entry, i've created two tables in access linked to excel source file. Any change in excel will reflect in Access database and subsequently in my Application . Until now my application only reads the database and displays records in DataGridView. These records, i then export to excel along with other formatting for direct printing as a report as I have no idea how to make report. Now i want to add data-entry capability to my app using password-protection user-access. So i can directly add new record to source file. Also need to know if There's any way of eliminating Access from the picture entirely....

I've got an issue with an Access97 replicated database that I'm writing a small monitoring app for. I've got FSW's to track changes to the necessary files, but am having some issue in enumerating exactly what has changed in some instances, specifically when attributes may have changed. I'm using a similar strategy to track this as I did for changes in size. I've got a Private class variable for the size of each file and a local method variable and compare the two, when different, update the class variable for the next comparison.

This is a easy one (i think) I am using MS access 2003 and. I am having problems continuing SQL statments to another line. I have been trying &_ and that doesnt seem to work with my SQL statements. How do I do this. I have some long SQL statments and it would be easier to break to another line, but I can't seem to do this. The statment below gives an error.
sqlz = "SELECT [Crosstab AUS].* INTO [AUS REQ] &_

I have a 'For Each...' loop in the VB.NET code for one of the pages on my website. There is also a Try/Catch block within this code that currently contains an 'Exit Sub' in the event of an error being trapped. However, what I would actually like to do is to merely exit the current loop value and recommence the loop at the next value in the sequence.
How can I do this?
