Enabling code editing while an application is running in Visual Studio (WP8)

Question

I am developing applications for Windows Phone 8 using Visual Studio and I can’t change the code while the application is running, which makes me crazy. I fall in love with him every time. Trying to change code before stopping debugging.

Tools > Options > Edit and Continue => I unchecked Enable Edit and Continue. 

Using the above steps, I was able to change the code while the application was running, but now I can not change the design. How to enable design editing while the application is running?

There is a very simple way to edit a design without launching the application. If you open your solution in Blend, you can apply sample data to your related views based on the classes to which they are attached. Then, when you make changes to XAML, they will update the sample data in the project view.
