In my Tools/Options box under Projects and Solutions/Build and Run, I have selected: Before building: to "Don't save any Changes." This allows me to try out some code (mainly for Console apps) and then discard the project without anyfurther deliberation.

However, after making changes to a form, I would like to test-run it without saving, but I get a message that forces me to save, unless I cancel and it runs the version of the program before the changes were made. This happens mainly when making changes to the form controls, not the code.

The VB 2005 edition works the way I want it to allow testing without saving, but VB2008 does not allow this. Is this a bug? Is there any way I can change this behavior?

No it wasn't. I reported the behavior to MS Connect and they acknowledged it, said it might work differently in VS 2010. They offered a work-around: Switch to the code view and run the program from there. That way, it doesn't prompt to save. That works for me.

Hi Solitaire,

This behavior may be by design.
