Does Edit and Continue work in VS2005?

Does Edit and Continue work in VS2005?

• sveroa

  yes - as I pointed out earlier, when I hit a breakpoint and try to make my code changes, the menu item is greyed out.

  Strange. What project type do you have I just checked a win32 console app without problems.

  I'm still running 2005 RTM on this machine, did you install SP1

  I ran into a similar problem and for me it helped to switch the "Debugger type" to "Native only" in the project settings.

  Hi,
  firstly, thanks for your help
  however, even with something as straighforward as shown, if I hit a breakpoint on the nRet decl/def, E&C is still greyed out.
  
  int _tmain(int argc, _TCHAR* argv[])
  {
  int nRet = 1;
  return nRet;
  }

  Thanks in advance for taking the time to log the issue.

  Thanks,

  Yes, SP1 is still beta - think I heard that it might be Q2/2007 for release but not quie sure about that.

  So our systems are quite similar - only that I run on Win2003 and you on XPSP2 - both should be seen as quite stable for development.

  If you setup a new Win32 project with some code, does it behave the same Maybe there are some code constructs which disable edit&continue

  Are you remote debugging

  it's a Win32 native app, running on WinXP Pro (SP2)
  is SP1 for vs2005 still in beta - I don't have it installed.

  Just to be sure, you are typing code and yet the button remains grayed out The button should start in a grayed out state and change once you have code changes that need to be rebuilt.

  whenever a breakpoint is encountered, the Debug->Apply Code Changes menu item is always greyed out.

  I have a simular problem. we have a solution which contains mostly C++ projects (about 8 DLL's and one EXE. It also contains a C# project.
  
  The active startup object (the C++ EXE) has its debugger type set to "Native"
  However, Edit and Continue seems to behave rather strangly.
  
  It appears to work but the "Apply code changes" toolbar button/menu item is disabled. However, if I set a breakpoint and edit some code after the breakpoint is reached, it does appear, upon continue, to apply the code changes for me - it just dosn't ever let me press the toolbar button.
  
  Now, this only appears to have started happening recently, but Im not sure if it was:
  a) After using the profiler
  b) After switching debugging to "Mixed" - of course E&C is disabled (and then back to native - which you would expect to re-enable E&C as it was)
  c) After installing VS2005 SP1
  
  It's not just me this is happening to - it applies to other VS2005 development machines belonging to other team members. I guess its project/solution specific but I havnt tried another solution yet (unfortunatly I have real work to do and since moving to VS2005, I seem to be spending too much time with IDE bugs of various sorts :( ).
  
  Thanks,
  Phil

  thanks for your reply
  No, I'm not remote debugging
  
  

• Roshan_wp

  well that definitely seems like a bug. I spoke to the debugger folks and they'll be sure to investigate this. Please log a bug over at http://msdn.microsoft.com/productfeedback

  Thanks!
