Edit and Continue

Got either a misunderstanding or a bug. When I go into Edit and continue, if I try to edit a Linked Form/Module, the IDE says it is Readonly. Did I miss something in the manual, or are linked files Readonly except when they are not linked?

Thanks

Very interesting question. I have reproduced this behavior in recent builds, as well as Beta 2. I'm not yet sure of the desired behavior, and I've e-mailed a few team mates to see what they think.

It turns out that this is not currently supported.

The file must be included in the project as a regular file in order for you to do Edit and Continue. You can still debug the file, you just can't apply changes.

I hope this helps.

That was what I had thought. It would be nice to allow the E&C on linked modules. I have common modules for many different projects which sometimes I need to change or add parameters, routines.

Thanks for the Info
