How come when I run my project thru the vb ide (debug) i cant pause the app,
then make code changes as i was able to do with vb6?

VB6 was a scripted language, which allowed you to make changes on the fly.
VB.Net is a compiled language, which is much faster and more robust, but
with the trade off of not being able to change the code during runtime. You
can still change the values of variables etc however when debugging.

Hi Martin,

You can pause your program (with a breakpoint or by pressing the Break key),
and you can change your source code when your program is paused (see the
Tools > Options > Debugging > Edit and Continue property page), but your
modified code won't be recompiled and used until you restart your program.

MS is working {*filter*} building this feature, but it's always going to be
more difficult to implement than the equivalent functionality in VB.Classic.
When they do get this working, probably in version 2.0 due in early 2004, I
suspect that it will have some significant restrictions. Even VB.Classic
won't allow you to edit certain code.

It is true that the VB Classic IDE won't allow you to edit some code while
program execution is paused, however in my experiences with VB6, there are
very, very few times this is not allowed.  Almost to the point of where I
can go weeks without running into this rare limitation.

I also am looking forward to this enhancement in the next version though!
