.NET SDK - VS2015 Edit & Continue

[Anonymous]

I'm developing a plugin using the 3DS Max 2016 .NET SDK with C# and Visual Studio 2015, and I'm trying to find out if 3DS Max supports Edit & Continue for .NET plugins.

From what I can gather, 64-bit Edit and Continue is supported by Visual Studio 2013 and later with CLR 4.5.1 (Link: https://visualstudio.uservoice.com/forums/121579-visual-studio/suggestions/2037667-x64-edit-and-cont... )

My plugin is being compiled against the .NET Framework 4.5.1, the debugger can be attached without issue and everything seems to be configured correctly in VS2015, but it's refusing to allow it. I've attached a screenshot for further details.

The only other mention of Edit and Continue support in 3DS Max is more than 4 years old and relates to a 32-bit target (Link: http://forums.autodesk.com/t5/3ds-max-programming/edit-amp-continue/m-p/4232205/highlight/true#M9877 )

Does anyone have an answer to this (or experienced this as well), or is this a current limitation with 3DS Max?

Did you read also?

Edit & Continue with VS2015 C++ and x64 Max SDK works perfect here.

Yeah, I'm aware of C++ Edit and Continue but we're using the .NET SDK for our plugin.

Hmm.. I see.. I thought nobody is using C++ anymore and MS will therefore release all useful features for C# first. It took extremely long until MS released the Edit&Continue feature for x64 C++. I was not even aware, that there is a difference in their development tools.

To some degree, yeah, as 64-bit Edit and Continue with C# was supported initially in VS 2013, and C++ support was only just added with VS 2015.

Do you have any .NET SDK plugin development experience, or know anyone else that may have an answer to this?

Sorry, I could not get familiar with C# and I always need low level high speed stuff. To enable this feature for C++ I had to explicitely enable it somewhere in the options dialogs.

Has the problem been solved?

For .net stuff, why don't you use vs2017? Imho, the relationship to the SDK libs and include files is not that relevant.
