Problem when running MVC where javascript files are not updating.

Question

Hi,

I have VS2008 developing a MVC app 1.0.

I have added a .js file to app.

But when I make changes and start debugging the app the javascript is using previous version and not my additional changes.

In the debugger the js file has the suffix [dynamic] after the name of the file.

What is causing this? I have asked similar question before but answers don't help.

Answer 1

Browser caches previous version of your js file.

Just hit ctrl+shif+del => enter.

For internet explorer - tools, internet options, delete...

Answer 2

Restart your Cassini server (the visual studio server with an icon down by the clock)
