It is quite possible that one of the Visual Studio control files has become corrupted. Try rebuilding your solution from scratch. If the problem reoccurs please post the entire error message exactly as it appears on your screen.

Hi Richard,

I have tried to rebuild the solution many times before and now also, but i have the same error.
The complete error details are as follows.

Unexpected error reading metadata from file 'd:\TFS CODE\ATPT-2003Srv\ExternalDependencies\WeOnlyDo.Client.SFTP.dll' -- 'Index not found.' FileMover

I've just come across this issue. I traced it to using Linq in the function I was unable to edit/continue.

Basically, I was able to edit/continue any procedure, except the ones that contain Linq calls. I couldn't find any solution for enabling edit/continue for those procedures, but since the others work fine, I am simply going to call it a Visual Studio limitation.
