I am using VS 2005 and I am having trouble with being able to edit and
continue while in the debug mode. This was not a problem earlier but
something has change.

I have checked the following settings in options:

<tools><options><debugging><edit and continue> is check but I am still
unable to enter code in the code editor.

I receive the following:

“Cannot currently modify this text in the editor. It is read-only.”

Thanks

Tom

You don't say what sort of application you're debugging.

Edit and Continue does not work with ASP.Net, nor with any application
to which you have to /attach/ the debugger, e.g. a Windows Service.

Form's app's and Console app's is about the limit of it.

Phill,

It is a Form Application.
