为什么Visual Studio Web App无法更新DLL

Question

I have a Visual Studio web app that i have taken over from an old company employee.

The whole site looks like its split into two parts a main site and a secondary site in a folder within the main site.

The main site seems to update all code when accessed so if i update a .cs file and brows the website it changes.

The secondary site does not do this and has a dll file that is somehow associated with the site.

If i de compile the dll file is gives me the code held in .cs files for all pages.

The problem i have is if i change any code in .cs file and Build the site nothing changes.

I know the site is setup as a web app in VS and have tried Build, Rebuild and publishing to a local folder on local IIS where i am testing everything

If i delete the DLL file then the site refuses to build coming up with multiple errors

As i am fairly new to asp.net and C# i am now at a total loss on what to try next

Any assistance would be appreciated

Answer 1

Try this.

Clean and rebuild the solution. If that does not work then try to move the file to a new PC entirely, make the changes you want, clean and build the solution. You should be fine.
