Hi all, I'm a complete newcomer to ASP.net, having most of my background in PHP. However, I was asked to do some minor edits for a friend who has an IIS7 based website. I've logged into the FTP and attempted to change some .asp files, but the changes do not appear when loading the website (for example changing the title). Any idea where I might be going wrong here? Thanks, jw
Make sure to clear your cached or try another browser. A lot of times your browser caches the old data, so you don't see any recent changes to the site.
I have tried clearing the cache, and had already tried different browsers and machines but to no avail. When I try to edit a .aspx version of the file, it comes up with a precompiler warning to not delete the file. Do I need to recompile the website/file? If so how is the best way of going about this, or is there a server side cache I need to clear somehow?
You can recompile your website by recycling or stop/starting your application pool in your friend's Control Panel. If the site is more complex and uses .dlls files, then you should develop the application/site locally with Visual Studio before uploading any changes.
