Possible 64-bit operating system issues in C# development

Question

I\'m updating my operating system to Windows 7 x64, I only have experience with running 32-bit operating systems. Does anyone have any bad/good experiences with a 64 bit en

Answer 1

Majority of software I use has no issues with x64, it's been a few years since the XP x64 troubles, and people have caught up with x64 it seems.

The primary issue with development in x64 however, is when running in x64 mode in Visual Studio, you can not edit code while debugging.

You must use x86 as the target platform in order to do so.

This is one of the reasons one of the beta's for Visual Studio 2010 defaulted target platform to x32 instead of Any Platform...
