I’m trying to get Edit and Continue to work in a solution that references a Shared Library Project. I’m starting with a Windows Desktop project and testing E&C by setting a breakpoint at the Clear statement in Game1.cs, changing the color, and then resuming. This works fine.
I then create a MonoGame Shared Library project (KoiX) and add this to the solution. At this point, E&C still works fine but as soon as I add a dependency on the shared library from my desktop app E&C stops working. If I remove the dependency, E&C works fine again.
Any clues about how to fix this would be appreciated.
My latest Visual Studio versions have had Edit & Continue severely broken (which pisses me a lot, because I rely heavily on it). It breaks with shared libraries, it breaks with local functions, and probably breaks by sneezing when using it.
What I hate most is that it seems I’m the only idiot this is happening to, so I’m “happy” to see I’m not alone
Being unable to install previous Visual Studio Community versions makes it even worse. I don’t care for the new fancy stuff, but I’d love to get back to a version where I didn’t have those problems.
Thanks for the welcome @MrValentine. It’s been way too many years since I’ve been around here.
I’m starting to be an advocate of your sneezing theory @KakCAT. I’ve been working on this the last day and it doesn’t seem totally tied to having a library. I did get E&C to work once with a shared library in the project then I tried adding code to the library. Oops.
Currently I’m trying to add my library code directly to the project. I’m keeping versioning separate by having the lib code in a separate repo and using submodules to include it in the build. My first attempt was to just dump it in all at once. This also broke E&C so now I’m trying to add it in small chunks. Hopefully I’ll be able to narrow down what it is that is causing the problem.
I hope I can get this figured out because I really would love to move on from XNA and VS2010. Doing this while also trying to figure out Git is such a joy.
