C# Edit and Continue: error 4065
Error Message
Constructor cannot be modified while debugging because field <field name> has an initializer using an anonymous method
You tried to modify a constructor that contains a field initialized by an anonymous method. Edit and Continue does not support this change during debugging.
Consider the following code:
class Example
{
private System.EventHandler Click = delegate
{ System.Console.WriteLine("Hello"); };
public Example()
{
}
static void Main(string[] args)
{
}
}
If you step into the application, then try to add int a = 10 in the constructor, this error occurs.
