Im trying to compile a simple class library project,its from Source Safe. However,when i "build" project,then right click on project's BIN --> DLL --> Choose Properties,the Date modified doenst change,and i dont know if the DLL was recompiled with the new version.
Any ideas?
A few things:
1) Build won't recompile the dll if you haven't changed the source. If you want to forcibly recompile, use Rebuild or choose Clean Solution before building (cleaning deletes the old assembly).
2) Check to see whether you're looking at the correct build directory. By default, .NET comes with two configurations: Debug and Release. Each configuration has its own directory: e.g., \Bin\Debug\*.dll. Visual Studio only updates assemblies in the current configuration directory.
3) If you still can't tell whether your dll has changed, you can download Reflector and inspect the file.
