Shouldn't we be able to do a Edit & Continue now in VS2008?

I get a dialog saying I can;t do it in 64 bit?

Thanks,
Schneider

I have the same issue and believe it is due to most of the tools being 32
bit and unable to interrupt the program to accept edit and continue. It is
just another artifact of the times.

Hi Schneider,

Thanks for your posting.

Edit and Continue is not supported in 64 bit CLR, however you can use 32
bit CLR on a x64 machine.
As Steve said in his blog:
http://blogs.msdn.com/stevejs/archive/2005/11/15/493018.aspx.

You need to compile your managed assembly with a target CPU of x86. This
will cause the 32 bit CLR to be used rather than the 64 bit CLR.

For a VB Project, right click on the project and go to
Properties/Compile/Advanced Compile Options/Target CPU and set it to "x86".

For a C# Project, right click on the project and go to
Properites/Build/Platform Target and set it to "x86".

If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact
us. It is always our pleasure to be of assistance. Have a nice day.

Yes that works, but basicly it's not supported in 64 Bit.

What about Vista 64 bit?

When is MS going to fully support 64 bit?

Thanks,
Schneider

Hi Schneider,

Thanks for your reply.
As far as I know, the CLR team would like to add this feature to the next
major version of the CLR. For more information, please refer to the
comments in the following article:
Edit and Continue on 64 bit Windows -
http://blogs.msdn.com/stevejs/archive/2005/11/15/493018.aspx

As Rick Byers, who is the senior development lead in the CLR team, said:
"We've done some investigation about enabling EnC in the 64-bit CLR and
it's certainly not impossible or impractical. In fact, it's something we'd
like to add to the next major version of the CLR. Of course I can't comment
on what features we WILL add, but I can say that the more customers ask for
a feature, the more likely we are to add it. If 64-bit EnC would be
valuable for you, please let us know (MSDN product feedback center,
support, and/or with blog comments)."

Sorry that the release date of the next major version of CLR has not be
announced yet. However you can subscribe the feed of
http://www.microsoft.com/feeds/msdn/en-us/netframework/netframework_en_us.xm
l. It will contain the release information of CLR at the first time.

In the meanwhile, I will also suggest you to submit your feedback at
http://connect.microsoft.com/VisualStudio whenever you have any concern or
suggestion about Edit and Continue feature.

If you have any other questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to
contact us. It is our pleasure to be of assistance. Have a nice day.
