You can disable or enable Edit and Continue in the Options dialog box (at design time; you cannot change this setting while debugging).

Edit and Continue works only in debug builds. For native C++, Edit and Continue requires using the /INCREMENTAL option.

Procedures

To enable/disable Edit and Continue

  1. From the Tools menu, click Options.

  2. In the Options dialog box, open the Debugging node, and select the Edit and Continue category.

  3. To enable, select the Enable Edit and Continue check box. To disable, clear the check box.

  4. Click OK.
