Problem with Edit and Continue

[Lloyd Sheen]

As stated in subject. VS 2005 has stopped allowing edit and continue. Of
course when I check the Options under Edit and Continue it is enabled. Now
I had opened that project last week and it worked correctly.

Is it just my view or is MS software getting worse by the year?

All service packs are applied. There are 4 projects in the solution. It
seems that only the "main" project has this problem. Any ideas???

PS

Other projects do not have this problem.

64 bit disables it also. Check your compile settings.

I am on 32 Bit Vista. I have checked all setting in the exe portion of the
solution. I have also checked other solutions I have and I can see no
differences in the settings. Just another MS out to lunch problem. I have
been at this for 30+ years so I know all the (what did you do) things to
look for. The problem is that I had to make a small change last week and
this did not occur. Maybe MS has a list of reasons to indicate that the
file is read only (Yeah Sure).

I cannot believe how MS QA seems to be MIA.

Hi Lloyd -

To the best of my knowledge, Edit and Continue only works when you are
in debug mode and have "paused" the code, either manually or by
reaching a breakpoint. I have also experienced some problems with this
working correctly in ASP.NET applications.

Even so, not all types of changes are supported; for instance, you
can't change form layout code via the designer.

Hope this helps,

It is not ASP but a Windows App. I set a breakpoint and when I get there I
cannot even hit Enter. This is only for classes in the "main" "Exe" project
in the solution.
