How to enable Edit and Continue in Visual Studio

Question

I was using Visual Studio 2010 Express for a project and recently changed over to ultimate 2010. I am noticing that when I would debug in express I could put a break point, edit the code if needed and continue without having to recompile.

With VS 2010 ultimate it tells me the version has changed and i have to stop and restart. How do i get the functionality that express had in ultimate?

Thanks for the help.

EDIT: More specifically, here is the message i get: "This source file has changed. It no longer matches the versio nof the file used to build the application being debugged".

You have to enable 'Edit & Continue' both in the debug menu (should be on by default. check by going to debug > options+settings) and possibly again in the specific project if it's a web project of some sort. It should be a checkbox there.

edit: it's been a bit since i've tried it, but as far as i recall, that's the how. i'll see if i can grab you a link.
