Edit and Continue does not support changes to LINQ queries. If you add, remove, or change a LINQ statement during a debugging session, a dialog box appears that tells you the change is not supported by Edit and Continue. At that point, you can either undo the changes or stop the debugging session and restart a new session with the edited code.

In addition, Edit and Continue does not support changing the type or the value of a variable that is used in a LINQ statement. Again, you can either undo the changes or stop and restart the debugging session.

In C#, you cannot use Edit and Continue on any code in a method that contains a LINQ query.

In Visual Basic, you can use Edit and Continue on non-LINQ code, even in a method that contains a LINQ query. You can add or remove code before the LINQ statement, even if the changes affect the line number of the LINQ query. Your Visual Basic debugging experience for non-LINQ code remains the same as it was before LINQ was introduced. You cannot change, add, or remove a LINQ query, however, unless you want to stop debugging to apply the changes.
