The Visual Studio Edit and Continue feature stopped on Visual Studio 2010, and I don't know what has caused the problem.
I am working on a Windows application program using C#. This application was initially developed in Visual Studio 2008, and later upgraded to Visual Studio 2010.
Everything was working fine, including Edit and Continue, until I upgraded the .NET Framework from 3.5 to 4.0.
Now when I use debug mode, changing any line of the code in the IDE results in the following message:
Edits were made which cannot compiled. Execution cannot continue until the compile errors are fixed.
Actually, there are no compilation errors, and I must restart the Visual studio to get the updates to run.
How can I get Edit and Continue to work again?

For those who don't know about it, it allows you to edit code while you are debugging a running process, re-compile the code while the binary is still running and continue using the application seamlessly with the new code, without the need to restart it.
Stop ExecutionSelect "Stop debugging" from the Debug menu to end a debugging session. You also can stop debugging from the Processes window. In that window, right-click the executing process and select the Detach Process command or the Terminate Process command.
To end a debugging session in Microsoft Visual Studio, from the Debug menu, choose Stop Debugging.
In the Solution Explorer view, right-click on each reference of References, choose Properties. In the Properties view, sign False to the field of Embed Interop Types. This works for me.

The Edit and Continue feature does not work with the dynamic keyword.
I tried to remove the method that uses a dynamic parameter, and the converted project now works on Visual Studio 2010.
Internet research reveals that is is a bug that has been reported to Microsoft. The link below has more details:
