Visual Studio as 64bit App.
« on: January 30, 2011, 12:54:44 PM »
I suppose I should have first searched for this type of posting before I took a leap at the “bleeding edge”. :|

Some early testing (and all subsequent web searches) reveals that VS.NET “Edit and Continue” is not available for 64bit code.   I don’t suppose something new has developed since that thread?

If that really isn’t available, was there some option I should have been paying attention to that allowed installing VS as a 32bit app?  Would that matter if I’m testing with 64bit AutoCAD?

There is no version of VS2010 64 bit.

You can Edit & Continue on x64 computer  just not on x64 build

So if you need to have it must do a x86 build

Interesting.  Visual Studio distributes the install into both Program Files and Program Files(X86).  There has been so much software installed over the past couple of days that it will take a month to get reacquainted.

As it stands now I’m still using VS 2008 but plan to make a switch to VS2010 soon.  It would have been sooner if something new had materialized along this debugging front. 

I’ll have to experiment further to see the best overall workflow.    I do have a laptop with everything setup still as 32bit.
