Edit and Continue using a Local IIS

问题:

Is it possible to have the Edit and Continue option enabled on Visual Studio when debugging using Local IIS instead of IIS express?

回答1:

Works in IIS 10.0 (Win 10):

In Administrator command line run

C:\Windows\System32\inetsrv>appcmd set apppool "DefaultAppPool" /+environmentVariables.add[@start,name='COMPLUS_ForceEnC',value='1']

(replace DefaultAppPool with app pool name you use)

This will add tag

<environmentVariables> 
    <add name="COMPLUS_ForceEnC" value="1" /> 
</environmentVariables> 

into C:\Windows\System32\inetsrv\config\applicationHost.config for your app pool, so the app pool process always run in Edit and Continue mode.

More on the COMPLUS_ForceEnC environment variable can be found here.
