.NET Roadmap - C# Edit and Continue??
Lots of people are blogging about the updated information
available in the
.NET Roadmap. Am I the only one concerned that the Edit and Continue
features specifically mentioned for VB.NET will not make it
into C# as well?? Maybe the performance will be so much better
in VS.NET Whidbey that it won't be that big of a deal, but
currently I find myself craving this feature constantly.

You are not the only one, just need to know how we can
ask? :)
I didn't think edit & continue was possible for
c# anyway?
I suspect theres a technical issue that may muddle the
'beauty' of C# code compiling and execution. Ie: There's
an extra interpreter engine in VB that enables
E&C.
I agree. I think there are so many situations where
E&C is extremely useful and this thought of me
somehow being a bad coder because I want to use it is
total BS. What about all of the XP style methodologies
out there where it's all about rapid development and
refactoring on the fly??
I AGREE - I am trying to convince people here in my
office of the use of C# over VB but MS is making my life
difficult by implementing Edit and Continue in VB and
not in C# - really seriously missing this feaure !!
Does anyone know for real why MS is not implementing
this - I can't believe it is only to do with
'introducing bad programming styles' - we are not asking
to write entire methods, classes and other stuff - just
simply taking out an i++ statement or similar if that
was accidently left in the code !
