Is it possible to edit/change code while debugging?

[Anonymous]

Hello guys,

I am moving from VBA to VS2010/12 and I am having my first problem 🙂

Firstly, I read that I should install AutoCad 2013 DoNet Wizard to be able to compile and debug my code. After install it I managed to "debug" when I set the brakepoint but I couldn't change the code while debugging...

I did a fast search in this forum and I found some similar issues but they where old posts (before C3D2012 and VS2012). So, is it possible now to edit code while debugging as I was able to do in VBA? This will save me a lot of time. Mostly in my case once I'll make a lot of beginner mistakes...

In some post I found that we should install a virtual machine and run in 32bits mode to be able to edit. This is the best solution?

Thank you very much,

The short answer is you can not edit the code while running in 64 bits.

There has been some discussion about reloading dll files without restarting.

Thanks Arcticad.

I read that I should test and debug code using Virtual Machine with W7 32 Bits. Would I have problems after it, once my code will be ok, to upgrade and compile my code to 64 Bits?

Thanks again.
