In an ASP.NET Web Site project, I’ve always been able to make changes to the underlying C# code and simply refresh the page in the browser and my changes would be there instantly.

I can do the same thing when working with Java and Eclipse – edit my Java source and refresh the page and my changes are there.

I cannot do this in ASP.NET MVC though and it is a real downer – I have to stop the running process and make my changes, and then restart debugging. This is a huge waste of time.

Am I doing it wrong? What is the best approach to ASP.NET MVC development?

    Visual Studio locks the source code in debug mode. So your options are:

    1. Publish the site on your local IIS and use the “attach to proccess”.
    2. Use Run without Debug (Ctrl-F5) instead and again “attach to proccess”.
    3. Break the execution in debug mode (with Breakpoint).

    The first one is my favorite.
