Debugging Issue

[Sindbaad]

I'm newbie to VB.net, I used to work on Ver VB 6.0.

When I'm debugging using VB.Net it is not allowing me to update any code
when I'm running.

Also when I do F8 it is not taking me thru the whole code, it goes into the
initial event and then it exits the debugger and runs the whole application.

Do I need to set some thing or its the behaviour with the .Net.

Any suggestions are of great help.


Rgds,
Sindbaad

Sindbaad,

That is normal. In the next version a part of that VB6 behaviour will come
back. (With limitations is told).

(For the rest is debugging in VBNet in my opininion very good, you can watch
all kind of windows).

Edit & Continue is not supported in VS.NET 2002/2003, it will in VS 2005. At
most, you can edit enabling it in Tools, Options, Debugging, Edit and
Continue, but changes won´t apply until next run

Have you switched to Visual Basic 6 keyboard mapping (Tools, Customize,
Keyboard, Keyboard Mapping Scheme?

Edit and Continue is not supported in VB.NET 2002/2003. It will be back in
VB 2005. What you can do in VB.NET 2002/2003 is changing a setting that
allows you to edit code in debug mode ("Tools" -> "Options" ->
"Debugging" -> "Edit and continue" -> [X] "Allow me to edit VB files while
debugging"). Notice that changes in the code will take effect after
restarting debugging.

Re: Debugging Issue

Thank you very much folks !

It actually worked after changing the setting in Tools -> Options.

Thank you,
