Got an issue.

When I recompile my code, non of the changes take effect. I've tried to add MessageBoxes, change labels, the color of text .. everything. When I recompile nothing changes, it seems to load old code.

Any idea what's going on? Is there a cache or anything?

I've had this issue when I had a GAC'd version of the same DLL that I tried to debug. During load, the runtime would pick up the version from the GAC rather than the one I just compiled.

Are you sure you are running the same code you changed? Try single steppings through the app rather than run.

Open up your application directory, delete the debug folder.

You may need to clean your build output. Right-click on the Solution (or Project) icon in the solution browser and select 'clean'.

Hmmm, I can't seem to find a clean option. I'm using Visual C# 2008 Express.
Remove the compiled files manually - they are probably in a folder inside your project called .\bin\Debug

Try opening the "Modules" window (from the Debug->Windows menu). This will show you where the runtime is loading your assemblies from.

And very rarely, delete the .suo file associated with the project.. Which will force rebuilding..
