When moving from VB to C# a few years ago I relaly missed edit and continue. You can call me lazy but thats the way I work.

I was glad to see it come into .Net 2.0, I was therefore suprrised when I tried to do some work today on my 64 bit laptop and a dialog pooped up saying that Edit and continue was not available in 64 bit mode.

A quick search on the web and I found a blog post (http://blogs.msdn.com/stevejs/archive/2005/11/15/493018.aspx) that  gave me a solution. Simple change your code to be x86 only.

This fixed it.

I feel I am going to be doing this alot, only this evening I tried to compile my blogging tool and found that it complained about a com dll not being registered. Again this was a 64 bit v 32 bit issue. Changing to x86 mode and it worked a treat.
