I bought a pickit 2 programmer. My problem is I don't like to remove the pic from pic board whenever I need to change my code. I thought of attaching a pic base to the pickit 2 and making the needed connections to the pic board.

From my pic board there's an output from,

RB7/PGD (40)
RB6/PGC (39)
Vdd (11 & 32)
Vss (12 & 31)
MCLR/Vpp/THV (1)

Is there anything that I have to do other than just attaching?

Thanks in advance.
 

Have you installed the appropriate pullup resistor on MCLR?

Vss/GND yes, Vdd no, unless you are powering the board with the PICkit.

Is the PICkit 2 genuine or clone? You may want to use a weak pulldown resistor on PGM, this seems to be particularly important with certain clones.

Also, if applicable, be sure and disable PGM from within the Configuration Register Settings.

The following is a typical circuit I incorporate in my designs for ICSP:
