    i have visual studio 2010 beta 2 ultimate x64

    i make a new x64 application
    and when i debug and then break,
    i can't edit the source

    i thought that microsoft said that they will fix it in the beta 2 of visual studio 2010
    but it still hapening

    i think this feature called "edit & continue"

    You can use Edit & Continue on a 64bit platform, but only for debugging code targetting x86.  Change your platform to x86, recompile, and debug, and you'll be able to use edit & continue.

    You just cannot do this for x64 targetted code (or Any CPU, if you're on a 64bit platform).
