Edit and Continue (VS2005)

We used to love this feature in VC++6 - guaranteed that once the code was running you'd think "rats - not quite right" and with edit and contine be able to add a break point, watch and change code, and get it right.

This feature disappeared in VS2003 but thankfully has re-appeared in VS2005. Brilliant!

One negative comment though - it seems to work fine for C#, but VB - often get a crash of the development environment after using edit and continue. If you don't remember to save the file during edit and continue (not done automatically as far as we can see) you have to make the changes again after restarting VS2005. We've found some references to this issue on the web (see here) and it could well be limited to projects upgraded from VS2003 (which ours was).
