Questions tagged [edit-and-continue]

Edit and Continue is a feature of Microsoft Visual Studio that enables you to make changes to your source code while your program is in break mode.

Edit and Continue is a time-saving feature of Microsoft Visual Studio that enables you to make changes to your source code while your program is in break mode. When you resume execution of the program by choosing an execution command like Continue or Step, Edit and Continue automatically applies the code changes with some limitations. This allows you to make changes to your code during a debugging session, instead of having to stop, recompile your entire program, and restart the debugging session.

This tag should be used for questions relating to the feature.
