Hello,

I'm writing a class file for a web application. I'm not sure if this is a common issue, but when I try to rebuild a solution it does not update the .dll file.

I am to include this .dll file in the web directory. However I am stuck since the dll is for some reason is never updated when I change the code...

Can someone please clarify me on this one? Thanks in advanced for your help!

please quote your system specification. If u r running windows vista and later, please run your Visual Studio whichever edition with administrator rights. Also hereafter before you specify your question please specify both hardware and software of your running system. If all that did not work try the following command

Actually the dll file is now updated correctly after I selected 'Clean' from Build Menu. This is working now, thank you so much for your help!

Mr. Kashif Khan, thank you for your reply.

I ran the above command to clean my solution. However after rebuilding my solution it's still not updating my .dll file. Is there the next steps for this?

I'm running on Windows XP Professional 2002 SP 3 and I'm using VS 2005.

Thanks for your help.
