VS 2008 X64 "Edit And Continue"?
Dec 1, 2009
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 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?

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.

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.

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?

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.

Right now in my app I have a Pause and a Continue button, basically I enable/disable the controls on the form. Is there a better way to handle this.
Is there a way to lock the cursor in the control that it is in when the Pause button is clicked and then release it when the Continue botton is clicked?

When I do the try/catch method in my vb.net project I will try the code I want and when it can't do it, i make a message box right after the catch method. The thing is that it will show the message box, and then another message from the program itself. Like for example, I have here a MySQLException, and when i click ok on the message box, it will show another one right after showing the exception itself. How would I be able to get rid of this so the user doesn't have to see this, and the program can continue.

I was thinking I could make a console application that would have a FileSystemWatcher - watching for a .BAT file being created in a folder - and when it sees that file it does a PROCESS.START on it. But I'm seeing that a console app doesn't continue running.
Imports System.IO
Module awcWatcher
Sub Main()
Dim fsw As New FileSystemWatcher("D:ACS DesktopAWCeportingstaging")
fsw.NotifyFilter = NotifyFilters.FileName Or NotifyFilters.LastWrite
[Code] .....
How would I go about making this wait and then wait again and again and again?

I was observing my programs process in the task manager and noticed each action made to the program made the memory continue to rise. So I added a Garbage Collector and since it's my first time using it im not sure if I implemented it right. I haven't gotten any errors but I ran some tests I would like to go over with everyone. After adding the GC I was able to notice a change in the memory my program used- it was reduced.I added the GC to the main forms formClosed event of my application which is used in different scenarios. I also added it to the panels paint events before I tested the program. And noticed a quicker reduction in memory. The Form i mainly use called frmLine1t5. This form calls to the database based on which line to test. Then the form sets the controls that were added in design view to be enabled or disabled based upon the product for that line. This process was easy to implement.I Load each new frmLine1t5 to a collection of the form so people can run multiple tests using the same form. This helped so i didn't have multiple forms for the same type of process. I had to access the forms through a collection so I knew which controls to populate to the correct instance.
I noticed during my testing that I can not add more than 50 items to this collection. The problem is that I remove the key from the collection upon form closing, so I dont know why it has gotten to 50.The test I made Runs two timers. Timer 1 is set to tick every 4.5 seconds This timer loads a new form and tests a new line of product.Timer 2 ticks every 5 seconds and closes the previously opened form.I have it get the GC Total Memory upon loading the form of frmLine1t5 and upon closing the form of frmLine1t5.the results are shown in the picturesThe errors i have gotten occured when ChildForms Open: had reached 50Here are the errors:
[code]...
Possible Causes:I think that upon Form Closing it is taking longer to finish closing before a new form is loaded... But isn't vb.net suppose to finish any unfinished threads? Even if the program is single threaded?And because the form closing isn't "happening" then the key is not removed from the collection.

I have a form that adds new contacts. New contacts are added by pressing an appropriate button and they appear as an entry in the list on the form. I try now to add an edit button that will edit existing entries.User will select a given entry on the list and press edit button and will be presented with an appropriate form (AddContFrm).Right now it simply adds another entry with the same title. Logic is handled in a class called Contact.vb Here is my code.

I'm relativity new to VB programing and was working on implementing a database into my current project. However last night I was trying to add one and the program had encountered some error while I was trying to add a database which I accidentally closed without reading, at which point i promptly restarted the program to find this error whenever I try to open/edit the database.This leads me to believe that the error had stated that it was disabling something on me, and perhaps some way to re-enable it. I cant seem to recreate the error on my other system so i have no idea what to do.

I have a axwebrowser control and through it I am editing my website page On my main site page I have an attribute that I need that makes a field readonly..Although it is important to leave it like that on the site, I still need to edit the field through the Vb.net application. Only way to do this as what I see is to remove the readonly (Without doing all the website through VB.Net)Is there a way to edit the code on the site through VB.NET in order to remove the readonly attribute and be able to edit that textfield? [code]I just need to remove this readonly attribute here..Again I am using the axwebbrowser (COM)

i am using MsAccess as database.insert/edit/delete commands are working perfectly in my code. the problem is that if i insert a record it is definitly inserted in table in MsAccess but that cannot be seen on runtime. To see that inserted record i have to close MsAccess Table to verify that the record is inserted there. And also I have to stop debugging and then restart debug to see that the record is being displayed in Datagridview. How i can changes in records can be seen on runtime in DatagridView as well as in the MsAccess table on runtime.
