Edit and Debug not available in Visual Studio.NET?

Hi I've been using VS.NET for a while and have become frustrated. In VB6 I
could edit code during a debug session then continue.

Is there a way to accompish this in VS.NET? It seems odd that the feature
would have been removed.

Thanks,
Chris Dyck

News,

It comes back in 2005.

I never miss it by the way. There is so good background compiling when
editing (when option strict is on), that most errors will probably not be
resolvable with that try and go, because otherwise they where already
detected by the compiler before.

However just my thought,

Check the project's debug options, there is a checkbox that will allow you
to edit code while debugging. Notice that this will not be the same as Edit
and Continie like in VB6, you will have to restart your application in order
to make the changes you made appear.

True Edit and Continue will be back in the next release of Visual Basic,
"Whidbey", which will be made available in 2005.

Are you sure completly what the word True gives the idea, I thought that
there were limitations?

There are limitations in the current version of VB.NET (continue is not
supported ;-)). I'm not sure what you are referring to...

I thought that continue in the new version has limitations, which it should
have in my opinion because the classic style from VB6 made it more easy to
do it.

However maybe you have good expirience with it with the Beta.

There are some limitations, but there were limitations in VB6's E&C too.
All together the addition of E&C is a huge step forward.
