Advanced Visual Studio Question

[clifgriffin]

Yeah..this is the cl, but I'm not getting ANY responses at www.asp.net!

Okay, I have a Content Managment system I wrote in C#. I have it deployed on a server running Windows .NET Server RC1 as a test site. (http://www.webplicity.net)

The application makes up the whole website. I'm trying to copy the webplicity website into a brand new website. Sounds easy enough!

Here in lies the problem. In upgrading to .net server yesterday, I accidentally lost the latest versions of my content system. I was able to use back ups and recreate the missing portions. I got everything working perfectly on the webplicity site.

Whenever I copy the site over to the fpc site, connect to it in VS.net(from my local machine), make changes to the global db connection string, and build the project....somehow an extremlely old copy is deployed over the current files on the FPC site.

I've cleared the vswebcache folder, I've deleted all dll and bin files that I can find that could be hold overs, I've carefully gone through each vs.net file in notepad to look for hidden references to an old location-anywhere!

Nothing I do will stop this problem. Even if I construct the site with explorer (via pcanywhere of course) and edit the files to match the customized settings for this web via notepad...it completly ignores it and reads the old version from the dll file located in the bin folder. (so far as I can tell)

This is driving me out of my mind!

Please help !

Thanks so much in advance!

You know...this is pissing me off. The forums on www.asp.net are absolutely worthless!

I have never had even one post answered. People post lots of questions..but no one is willing to answer any of them.

Also..the fact that I have to wait forever for a moderator to check my post is also maddening.

I wish there was a forum like FK for Visual Studio.

(Maybe there is??? Anyone?)

Please continue..pray tell.

[gerbick]

a rebuild is not enough. you have to replace after you rebuild... but I think that's an issue with SourceSafe, moreso than anything else.

I'll look up my notes when I get to the office... I've run into this before... you just can not do just an update.

[clifgriffin]

I'd be greatful if you find anything.

Thanks gerby!

grifhiggins, when you recompile an ASP.NET project, only the pages are recompiled. You will have to redistribute the *.dll's since they are only compiled during the initial build.

that should get rid of your version issue.

[clifgriffin]

Okay..not to be dense here..but how do you "redistribute" the dll's. And do you mean the ProjectName.dll in the /bin folder?

Thanks again!

[gerbick]

crap. you would post this when I leave the office.

doing this off memory...

you can either build, rebuild, or redistribute a project when you compile the dll's.

www.asp101.com is a forum my bro goes on sometimes for .asp stuff, and yes, .net is supported there too . I think its worth checking out, Cliff
