Stopping code changes in managed code can produce unexpected results. Applying changes to managed code is normally a quick process, so there is seldom a need to stop code changes in managed code.

This menu item is visible only when code changes are being applied. If you choose this option, none of the code changes are committed.

A litter confusing,^_^.

you said "If you choose this option, none of the code changes are committed." "this option" represent which?

I mean I want to use the [Apply code change Alt +F10] function,But unfortunately ,it's always disabled even I have checked on "Debuging"->[Enable Edit and Continue] option.

Do you have a good method?

I found this, and it is totally bizarre. For me it turns out that if I have a .cpp with no #include files, "apply code changes" is always greyed after making changes. As soon as I add a #include directive, even for an empty header file, it is enabled again when I make a change. Even more bizarrely, the header has to be enclosed in double quotes, not <>.
