This warning pops out in such scenario:
Actually in step [*], I would like to debug the code with modifications made in step [#]. However, Visual Studio is actually debugging the code without modifications made in step [#] and thus warns me about that.
I have to clean the project before step [*] to make Visual Studio be aware of my modifications made in step [#]. How could I make Visual Studio always debug my up-to-date source files?
Extra information: It's "Always Build" and the "Build" box is checked in Configuration Manager. Besides, in step [*], even I manually trigger "Build" (Ctrl+Shift+B), it says that my project is up-to-date. Actually my my project is out-of-date both in "Start Without Debugging" and "Start Debugging". I have to clean the project to make my project up-to-date.

I have figured it out by myself that it is a feature called Edit and Continue
.
It's under Tools - Options - Debugging - General - Enable Edit and Continue
To apply code changes explicitly, on the Debug
menu, choose Apply Code Changes
