Visual Studio Edit and Continue

EDIT: LOOKS LIKE THIS IS ANOTHER ONE THAT DIDN'T ACTUALLY FIX IT... :-(
PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF YOU HAVE THE SOLUTION


A certain Visual Studio project wouldn't let me edit the code while debugging. It made debugging a real pain. I would get messages like this:

"Changes are not allowed when the debugger has been attached to an already running process or the code being debugged was optimized at build or run time."

There are different reasons why this type of message might come up. But in my case, eventually I discovered that the projects target frameworks didn't match. One project targeted 3.5 and the other targeted 2.0. Once I set both to 3.5, I could debug normally again.
