If I made changes to my ASP.NET project using VS2008 or VS2010, I must stop the ASP.NET development server and restart it (usually using "View in browser") to see the reflection of the changes.
I have the same problem as this guy:
ASP.net server needs to restart every time
Except for me, his solution does not work: adding / changing the registry value HKLM\Software\Microsoft\ASP.NET\FCNModeto 0 or 2 does nothing that I can see.
Now for the crazy part - I just upgraded to VS2010, assuming all my problems are resolved. I migrated my project to .NET 4.0 and made my browser view just for the same behavior! 4.0 launches a completely different version of WebDev.WebServer, I thought this would solve my problem! No.
Then I read about IIS Developer Express , just released using WebMatrix, and I find how to load my website (command line) only for, you guessed it, the same problem, I have to kill the server and restart so that my changes are visible.
And the changes I'm talking about do not have to be code updates, they can be just a modification of HTML. The server does not recognize the changes and therefore does not serve me on a new page. CSS or JS files can be updated and viewed without rebooting.
I'm just looking for some ideas on what might be the problem. Thoughts, please !?
Workstation: Win7 64-bit, VS2008 and VS2010.
