Afaik, E&C is not planned for vs.net 2004 [C#], and frankly I'm happy about it, because the [C#] devteam can spend that time on other, more valuable features :). (E&C IMHO creates bad debugging styles. Debugging isn't about trial & error which is the implication of E&C. It's about thinking through where teh bug can be, fire up the debugger to test your thoughts, then think about a fix, think through the change implications and fix it. Test it and if it fails again, start the debugger to see why. This way you save a lot of time, instead of poking around in the code inside the debugger :) )

That's right, rationalize the useful feature away because your tools are sub-optimal....
