asp:GridView style not chaning in IE

Question

I put a gridview on a page and used one of the default styles that VS 2008 comes with. I used brown sugar and then changed the values for the backcolor, forecolor, etc, but when I run it in IE, it still takes on the Brown Sugar appearance. When I run it in firefox, it is applying the styles I gave it.

Answer 1

What have you tried to do to remedy this situation?

Two things I would try:

1. Refresh cached styles in the browser (SHIFT+Reload)
2. Restart IIS with iisreset /noforce computername from command line.

Answer 2

try clearing cache of IE

Answer 3

Try clearing the cache. In IE 7 it is ctrl-f5 (not shift-f5 as someone else mentioned).

Refresh page and the cache CTRL+F5
