I want to edit the source code files while my project is running

You can edit the source files in cs, why cant we do it in vb.net? Or
more specifically, how can I get visual studio to not lock the files
during run time?

Edit and Continue is not supported in VB.NET 2002/2003. It will be back in
VB 2005. What you can do in VB.NET 2002/2003 is changing a setting that
allows you to edit code in debug mode ("Tools" -> "Options" ->
"Debugging" -> "Edit and continue" -> [X] "Allow me to edit VB files while
debugging"). Notice that changes in the code will take effect after
restarting debugging.
