Debuggning without saving

Question

Hi

Most of times, I just make changes to the project in order to test something, yet when I do debugging, everything will be saved. How can I do debugging without saving any changes, in other words, all what I want to do is just preview (NOT saving the work).

Thanks a lot.

Answer 1

In short, you don't.  (At least not trivially.)

You can use a version control system so that changes you make and save to the file system aren't overriding more permanent stable versions.  You can then only check in your changes when they are stable and ready to be permanently persisted, and you can quickly and easily undo pending changes.

Answer 2

See the Options dialog of Visual Studio, Projects and Solutions, Build and Run, Before Building. You can select “Don’t save any change”.
