You may also need to do the following:
- go to the client_sdk Property pages (by right-clicking on "client_sdk" in
the solution explorer)
- In the Property Pages, go to "C/C++", click on "General", and under the
field "Debug Information Format", change it to "Program Database for Edit &
Continue (/ZI)"
- Repeat the above two steps for the "server_sdk" solution.
Once it's all set up, you can then start a debugging instance and it should
run your game (best to play it in windowed mode since it's the easiest to
alt-tab out of), when you want to stop and make changes, just switch the
your MS Dev environment and click on the "pause" button (or you can press
CTRL+Break), it should then stop the entire program and take you to the last
executed line.. Now you can explore your code and make changes and when
you're done just press "play" or (press F5).
Oh, when you press 'pause' , It'll ask if you want to show disassembly
information. Make sure you select yes to this option because in my
experience if you don't show Dis-Ass. info it won't let you resume
playback...

I did some googling, it seems it's as simple as turning it on in the
options!
1. From the Tools menu, click Options.
2. In the Options dialog box, open the Debugging node, and select the
Edit and Continue category.
3. To enable, select the Enable Edit and Continue check box.
4. Click OK.
Note: Edit and Continue works only in debug builds. For native C++,
Edit and Continue requires using the /INCREMENTAL option.

Well I wouldn't really have the faintest idea where to start, so I'd
really
appreciate a hand :)
