Board index » Visual Studio » NOP Statements in IL

Visual Studio223
When I look at the IL, using ILDASM, why does the VB.NET version have so

many NOP statements? The C# version doesn't seem to. What gives?

Randy,

VB.NET, as does C# 2.0, injects NOP statements into the IL to simplify

debugging, I understand mostly to allow you to put breakpoints on statements

that otherwise you could not (such as End If). I want to say .NET 2.0 puts

more NOP statements to help with the Edit & Continue feature of the debugger

(I don't have the specific reference handy, I just remember reading

something to that effect).



To remove them simply compile your project under the Release build, see

"Project - Configuration Manager - Active Solution Configuration" or simply

use the drop down on the tool bar.



Hope this helps

Jay
