Unity Playing in Editor + Building Code in VIsual Studio Community 2015 Causes Freeze

Apologies if this question was already asked and answered. I cannot find an answer for this anywhere. Here is a typical way my Unity Editor freezes: - I press play to play my scene - I build my code in Visual Studio Community 2015 - The Unity Editor freezes completely after a couple of seconds or so - I need to kill the Unity.exe task and open Unity again to use it. The freeze happens without fail every time I do this. I am also experiencing periodic freezing while using the editor. I've been stopping my scene to compile my code in Visual Studio, but would prefer to be able to build my code while my scene is playing. Anyone resolved or know the resolution to this issue? Thanks!
