Fatal Error C1092

Edit and Continue does not support changes to data types; build required

You changed or added a data type since the last successful build.

  • Edit and Continue does not support changes to existing data types, including class, struct, or enum definitions. You must stop debugging and build the application.

  • Edit and Continue does not support the addition of new data types if a program database file, such as vcx0.pdb (where x is the major version of Visual C++ in use) is read-only. To add data types, the compiler must open the .pdb file in write mode.

To remove this error without ending the current debug session

  1. Change the data type back to its state prior to the error.

  2. From the Debug menu, choose Apply Code Changes.
