[2008] Configuration problem on Windows 7
I have Visual Studio 2008 on two computers running Windows 7.
On the first one, every works very well.
On the second one:
- I create a brand new package.
- I add a button and click RUN, I see a form with one button.
- I add another buttun and click RUN, I still only see one button (the program did not recompile in the DEBUG folder).
- I force a project recompile and click RUN, now I see my two buttons
Is there a configuration parameter that should be set, so that a RUN would automatically recompile the latest changes?
Right now I have to click RECOMPILEe every time I need to RUN, otherwise I am debugging an executable that does not match with the current source code.

That happens sometimes with 2008. If that happens, just clear the Debug folder. It's the only solution I've seen.
Re: [2008] Configuration problem on Windows 7
No that is not the problem. On this PC, it occurs EVERY time, on EVERY programs, even on a brand new project. I even tried to clean up the DEBUG folder and after one rebuild the program was never rebuilt after a change.
It looks like a computer setting prevents the IDE from rebuilding the DEBUG program after the source was changed.

Maybe reinstall Visual Studio? That is certainly not supposed to happen and has never happened to me with Visual Studio 2008 Standard on Windows 7 x64

under tools -> options -> Projects and Solutions -> Build and Run
(check off "Show all settings" if you don't see that node)
what options are selected there? Does it match this?

Exactly the same value as the PrintScreen ... yet it still never recompiles the program when clicking the RUN button.
Any other ideas before I attempt a full uninstall / reinstall?

Have you installed Service Pack 1 for Visual Studio 2008?

Re: [2008] Configuration problem on Windows 7
Yes, SP1 for VS2008 is installed
Re: [2008] Configuration problem on Windows 7
That is all the things I would have tried before doing a reinstall. I also use Win7 (x64) and have no problems with VS2008.
