• Windows Forms Datagridview

• Visual Studio Express Editions No Edit & Continue in VB2005 Express Edition

  Well, after doing  a bit of research, it would appear that one of the other "Streamlined" experiences of the Express Edition (and probably the Standard Edition too) is that Edit & Continue does not exist. After looking thru Help, I found that it is only on the PRO version of VB 2005.  Since Help says that to disable it (needed to try to disable to see if it helped overall preformance of VBExpress) one needed to go to: TOOLS, OPTIONS, DEBUG...........well , guess what NO DEBUG OPTION! I can see that in the "free to download for the first year" version ( Express Edition) but, why for a version that we will have to pay for ( Stand ...Show All
