.NET Forum / Visual Studio.NET / IDE / April 2008No 'Edit and Continue' Debugging on Vista 64-bit?
I've been testing out Vista 64-bit on a second partition on my HD, and I installed VS 2008 on it. I run a program in debug mode, come to a break point, and then try to edit some code. A window comes up saying something to the effect that you cannot edit running a program in 64-bit mode. Is this true? Under Windows XP in 32-bit mode, I can edit a VB program while it is running, and this has been a extremely useful improvement over the pre-VS 2005 versions of VS. If this is not available under Vista 64-bit, that is a major drawback. Will it be available anytime in the future?  SignatureEd Hello Ed, This behavior is by designed. Edit and Continue does not work when Visual Studio 2005 is running on a 64-bit Windows operating system. VS product team have heard that, they will consider adding it into future release of Visual Studio. http://connect.microsoft.com/VisualStudio/feedback/ViewFeedback.aspx?Feedbac kID=267609 [Some features of VS such as edit/continue do not work on 64-bit extended systems] We are indeed sorry for any inconvenience this may have caused.

Have a great, Best regards, Wen Yuan Microsoft Online Community Support ================================================== This posting is provided "AS IS" with no warranties, and confers no rights. You mentioned "when Visual Studio 2005 is running on a 64-bit Windows". Actually, I was running VS 2008 in Vista 64-bit. It seems to me that the features of 64-bit VS should be exactly the same as 32-bit VS. If not, this is a major hassle. I was hoping my VB software (which utilizes SQL Server) would run faster in 64-bit because it would more fully utilize my hardware (dual-core 64-bit processor and 4GB of RAM). When I tested Vista 64-bit, I installed SQL Server 64-bit, Office 2007, and the new VS 2008, which I assume all takes advantage of 64-bit (of course, I ran Windows Update to get all the latest patches, including Vista SP1). I recompiled all my VB software in 64-bit and tested it. My VB software worked, although I did find a bug with a file command which worked in XP 32 bit but not in Vista 64-bt. Also, some other software I've purchased either was not available in 64-bit or was still in beta. I was disappointed to find that the software did not run any faster in 64-bit--as best as I can tell, no difference at all. With no speed enhancement and no Edit and Continue in 64-bit, I am not converting to Vista at this time. Presumably, Microsoft would like me to convert to Vista, but there is no compelling reason for it and several reasons not to.

Hello Ed, I'm indeed sorry to hear you have such experience on 64-bit windows. But, unfortunately, we cannot provide Edit and Continue on 64bit windows so far (even though using VS 2008). Maybe it would be added into next version of Visual Studio... However, you can use E&C against the 32 bit CLR on x64 machine. But, if you try to do this on 64 bit CLR, VS will prompt a dialog tell you edit are not allowed. We are indeed sorry for any inconvenience this may have caused. For more information, you may refer to Steve's blog on MSDN website. http://blogs.msdn.com/stevejs/archive/2005/11/15/493018.aspx [Edit and Continue on 64 bit Windows] Thanks for your understanding.

Hi, I'm running VS 2005 / 2008 on Vista Ultimate x64 and I'm having this same problem. My questions are: 1.how can I use the x86 version of the CLR in order to be able to use EnC? 2. Do I loose anything switching back to x86 CLR? Thanks, Alex I believe Wen Yuan's response above refers to a blog which gives directions on how to what you asked, although I haven't tried it myself. I tried running Vista 64-bit and found it to be too problematic and slow, and the lack of Edit and Continue a huge drawback, so I've stuck with XP. I would like to definitely state to Microsoft that the E&C feature should be added to the 64-bit version of Visual Studio.

It actually work pretty well and doesn't seem to affect anything. I do find Vista x64 a lot faster and less buggy than its short wheels brother x86, and on top of that I need the 4Gb I have on my laptop to be used not just shown on the computer information like it is in Vista x86 SP1. Thank you very much guys.
