[2005] Help! something bad happened to my vb

[SlumberMachine]

I'm using the express version.

I have a fairly large project and for some reason my recent changes aren't getting built. I was trying out some threading-process-open"cmd" stuff which I then removed, but now everytime I make changes and run it doesn't have the new changes in. For instance, I have a form set to Fixed single, and when I run my program it's sizable. I rebuilt it and re saved it, but still the same, resizable.

Could it have anything to do with the sample code I was running which changed my system date (which I then changed back) through cmd?

when you click the arrow to run the project it runs in debug mode, but when you built the project it bults in the release folder.

Close the project then delete the bin and obj folder of that project. Now reopen the project and build...

Thank you! that solved it.

If you click the Build menu and then "Clean" it will do that for you automatically. So does the Build > Rebuild manu item but it also compiles a new exe version too.

Just a follow up to what RobDogg said. Coming from a fellow Express user since you are using the Express version, you'll have to manually add those options to your Build menu. Tools->Customize->Build(Categories)

Thats lame. MS should have made the menus for certain key parts the same in all versions so when developers go from one version to another they will have less headaches adjusting.

All versions of Office apps have allthe same base menus. Its only the extra features that have additional menus and toolbars. This makes life so much easier when using or programming against it.

Agreed. I've seen lots of posts on forums from users complaining why they didn't have certain options (such as "Clean") on their Express version menus. Until I realized that it had a Customize option like many other MS products I've used, I was one of them!
