I'm working in Visual Studio 2010 Web Express and I've noticed that quite often when I make changes to a Javascript source file being referenced from a .cshtml file, those changes aren't reflected when I rerun the code.

I've tried the following to no avail:
- Deleting the /obj and /bin folders.
- Cleaning and rebuilding the project and solution.
- Tweaking the build and debug settings.
- Making sure I saved the changes before I compile.
- Clearing the browser cache, cookies, and history.

The only way I can temporarily solve the problem is if I change the Javascript file name and all references to it then recompile. Renaming every time I make a change is very annoying. Even then, if I change the file name back to one I used previously the revisions from that specific file still run! This is very frustrating and is inhibiting my progress. Can someone please help me?

Maybe the development server isn't shutting down all the way, check the system tray icons in the bottom right of your screen when you aren't debugging. Happens to me a lot, so I have to refer to shutting down the development server. Often some changes won't display because of browser issues as well.

Click Start > Run

Type:

IISRESET

and press Enter.

Then run our application again and see if it fixes the problem.

Thanks for trying to help, I really appreciate it. However the solution was to delete IE browser cache, history, cookies, etc. and in developer mode make sure "Cache->Always refresh from server" is checked. Also, be sure all instances of IE are terminated. Voilà!
