visual studio problem: form does not change?

Question

I have a strange problem with Visual Studio 2010. Everything was working fine.

Now, when I click F5 (start debugging) the application runs, but does not update. E.g. I add a button, or resize the form, or write some code -- when I run it there are no changes. So I'm stick with a two days old version of my program and can't modify it.

I tried saving, resetting, etc. ... nothing helps. Am I missing something here?

Answer 1

Try using the option on the build menu to rebuild project. Sometimes when your debug version and your build version get out of sync things like this can happen. Especially if you're working with multiple DLLs out of multiple projects.

Answer 2

Debugging only runs the first macro which is the Form Load (if you have a sub routine to actually load the form. Rather than debugging, try just running (play) the program.



What did you have in the older program that you modified for this one and then you might see the error of your ways.



Edit - I think if you resave the project and the application, as Save As rather than just "Save" it will work with the modifications.



Also, rather than click on the project to open Visual Studio, open VS from the exe then open your project.
