Edit and Continue?? VS2005

[sandrapacino]

Perhaps a dumb question. I heard one hot features of VB 2005 is the
Edit and Continue (while in debug). I was taking a look at a team
version at university and tried to import a small vs2003 project. It
was read ok, but when debugging the editor is in read only mode.

Am I missing somewthing trivial. Is there some thing that has to be
switched ??

In the Pro version, Tools/Options menu >> Options Dialog.
Options Dialog -- check "Show All Settings" if unchecked.
Under Debugging, find "Edit & Continue" options.

Are you sure you are in VS.2005? There is a version selector that will
open VS.2003 for a 2003 project. Also make sure you upgraded it to a
2005 project.

Don't have VS.Net 2005 but was curious. Did you comment mean that one can
create VB.Net 2003 applications from VB.Net 2005 by selection the Version?

If you don't have VS 2005 you can't do edit and continue.

Gene:
It's all checked there (except "Ask first")

Chris:
Is there really a version selector? Where is it? Cant' see it ...

mmm...
Since it's so hot, I would have assumed it were the default, but still
can't figure out how to enable it??

 

[sandrapacino]

Ah the same happens if one creates a new project (VB 2005).
"Edit and continue" is full checked in the Option panel.

I am really confused. Any hint??

Note that E&C is not supported for ASP.NET projects and Smart Device
projects.

projects.

Nor is it supported if you have attached to a running process (using the
Debug/Attach to Process... menu option).

I've also found that E&C is disabled if you have "Enable unmanaged code
debugging" selected in the Debug tab of the My Project window.

mmm...Let me see.

1. It works with a new VB2005 project.

2. Nice to know Herfried (this is, however, a win app).

Note that E&C is not supported for ASP.NET projects and Smart Device
projects.

3. Oenone:

Ok, no, I have no attached to a running process (using the
Debug/Attach to Process.
Actually I don't even know what is this for...(???)

I've also found that E&C is disabled if you have "Enable unmanaged code

debugging" selected in the Debug tab of the My Project window.

YES!!!! that was it. Great!

mmm.. they should warn when enabling this: it's not easy to figure it
out!


Thanks you guys You have been great!
