Visual Studio and making changes to web form

[Jay Williams]

Hi, I created a simple ASP .Net website (not web application) in Visual
Studio 2005. In the default.aspx page I display a simple statement such as
"hello". When I run the web page with the built in web web server I see
"hello" printed, but if I change it to "hello world" and re-run I still just
see "hello". I do not believe it is my browser caching the page (tried
clearing history and cache, adding no cache headers etc.), I think it is
what Visual Studio stores in the temporary ASP .Net folders. If I close VS,
delete the folder for my website and then rerun I see my changes.

How can I refresh my website so that I see the most recent changes each time
I run? I am trying to work on some javascript and the changes I make are
not being displayed in the browser.

Thanks,
Jay

I guess I just need to stop the development server in the icon tray and then
I see my changes the next time I run.

It very well can be browser caching, so I would set those settings
first. Another option is to hit control + F5, which forces the browser
to recache any data.

You then get to server caching, which might require a restart, but this
is not normally needed, as you can also deal with the settings and avoid
caching. If you are using a web application template, you can also
rebuild the site and force it to dump the server side cache so you get
the new page.

As a note: Changes in code, rather than tags, are less likely to be
cached.
