VS2010 - Edit and continue not working
Jerry Spence1
I am targetting for x86, .NET 4.0 and have Edit and Continue ticked in
Tools/Options/debug.
Anything I'm missing?

What type of project? Note that E&C is not available for ASP.NET
projects, for example.

I'm just playing with a simple windows form project in VB.

Playing with a simple VB Winforms app in VS 2010 here allows me to do simple
E & C here.
So, the next thing is to show us an example of the edit(s) you tried alon
with some contextual info.

I have a clue here. If I start a new project I can do E&C. If I convert any
VS2005 project than I can't do it. I don't know if that's a bug or not.

Excellent clue. I can reproduce your problem.
I researched existing bug reports against VS 2010, figuring it was already
reported, but I didn't find it. I submitted a bug report through my MS
Connect VS 2010 link.
I'll bookmark this thread and report back here on any feedback I get.

Just to keep you updated, the first reply I got was "unable to duplicate"
and a request that I send in a converted solution that exhibits the
symptoms. I've done that and am waiting for the next response.

Eureka! Today, I got this...

Here is the final result I got through MS Connect. What they say here works
for me, as changing the target platform from "Any CPU" to "X86" in
Configuration Manager allowed me to E & C in VS 2010 running on Win 7 x64.

Edit and Continue is not currently supported when running 64-bit code. This
is an issue we are looking to address for vNext. To force code to run as x86
on a 64-bit machine you need to create a new Solution Platform and choose
x86 as the target platform. Edit and Continue should then work as expected.
Please let us know if you have further issues in this area.
