Uploaded changes to style sheets in dotnet website not implemented

Not sure if this is a "caching issue"
Frequently I experience a situation whereby I do no see the changes displayed in the website even though new files have been uploaded. I have tried 2 methods ie: copy site from VS2008 or using standard FTP to upload changes to.net website.

Is this an issue re caching on server side ? I have tried recycling, and stop start of website but it still does not implement changes.

I have frequently seen this behaviour when changing stylesheets - I have verified that the new style sheet elements have been uploaded but for some reason they are not active - any ideas ??

I use IE 7 and have deleted history files.

 

Hi,
Do you have a copy of the new Microsoft SuperPreview?
It's great for live testing of style sheets.
If not, and even so, I'd recommend using IE8 or Google Chrome in Private/Incognito mode.

Another quick trick is to modify your root web.config each time and sync it with your style sheet changes.
This will cause your site to load the changes.
Any modification to the root web.config, even adding a blank line then removing it and saving.
All the best,
Mark

 

For the record, there is no server-side caching of static files such as .css.
