Javascript not executing change in VS2008

Question

Hi,

I have an MVC and am using JS and JQuery.

I have VS2008 using dev server.

I have added some javascript to a JS file "SearchControl.js" and ran it fine.

Then I made a change and for some reason it was not hitting a brakpoint I put in.

So I put a breakpoint on some older code and it breaks but brings up a new file in VS called "SearchControl.js [dynamic]" which does not contain my new code.

Is the JS file being cached?? I tried to close VS and tried again same thing. What is going on??

Answer 1

You could try renaming your js file from SearchControl.js to something like SearchControl-1.0.js to force the browser to fetch a new version of the file?

Answer 2

Is this JS file an embedded assembly? If so, make sure you have recompiled and dropped the assembly containing the JS file into the GAC. Reset IIS.
