R – How to edit and continue in Visual Web Developer 2008 Express Edition and ASP.NET MVC

asp.net-mvcnetvisual-studio-2008vwdexpress

I've enabled Enable Edit and Continue on the Web Properties page and it's also enabled in my configuration, yet Visual Web Developer 2008 Express Edition refuses to allow me to edit source files of an ASP.NET MVC project. I can edit the aspx file with no problem though.

Any ideas what's wrong or what's missing?

If you are targeting x64 or Any CPU on a 64 bit machine you cannot use edit and continue. It only works when you are targeting x32.

I set my Platform target to x32 for the Debug configuration for this reason.
