"allow me to edit vb files while debugging"

[John A Grandy]

tools > options > debugging > edit and continue

by default, the option

"allow me to edit vb files while debugging"

is checked for c#, but unchecked for vb.net .... ?

does anyone know why this is ?

are there any problems with enabling this option for vb.net ?

Hi John,

The Circus is coming to Town. And it's bringing good old VB-style
edit-and-continue to an IDE near you.

We're talking about the next version here, of course. ;-)

Regards,
Fergus

I don't know. I have checked it.

No, except that you won't get "edit and continue" behavior. This will
be re-introduced in Whidbey (2004).

Which, BTW, is available now in Alpha form. Go to the MSDN subscriptions
download and there is a link that tells how to order it from MS!!

wow ! that's really good news ! that was by far the most awesome feature
of vb6. the feature that no one else had (that i know of).

could you post the link? thanks.

There's no link, really (except to Miscrosoft Subscriber downloads). There
it tells you to call MS support and ask for it. They ask for your
subscriber id and verification information. Sadly, it take 3 - 4 weeks to
arrive.

As has been posted before, there is no problem in checking it, as long as
you do realize that there's no edit and continue (for now ) - if you
continue to debug, the code getting executed is the old one, for example if
you added new lines, the lines reported by the debugger won't be
sincronized with the lines in the code.

does vc++ have real edit-and-continue in vs.net 2003?
