I am having the SAME problem!
I already posted about this on April 1st. in the general visual studio forum and got zero replies.
I have a project for a paying client. at least 20 forms, and thousands of lines of code that has worked no problem for almost a year now yet for one reason, in front of both myself and the client on April 1st decided to stop updating when I ran it. I added a form, and a button to show that form and ran the program and that button wasn't there. Further more it will show errors, as a matter of fact I can purposefully add a line of code that normally generates an error and would normally cause the program to not work but now the program runs like that problem isn't there.
I have tried to dynamically create the button when the form loads, and even that doesn't work. I re sized a list box in a way that I would see the change when I ran the program...nothing.
I checked if the project folder was marked as read only, it was, I unchecked it and it changed nothing.
I can open other projects or create a new one and everything works fine. Its just this one project.
Whats going on here? I feel like I hit a key combo that changed something. I have searched every menu and drop down in VS and can find nothing that supports this.
I have a meeting with my client tonight...because I posted about this on Friday hoping to get a fix so we could go one with our changes. He needs this program to create reports that need to go out Monday, to his paying clients.
PLEASE HELP!!!! SOS!!!!!
I'm running visual basic 2008 express on windows 7. Brand new computer...though I don't know the specs, is that really a possible reason for this problem?
Thanks for any advice. I only hope and prey I get it soon enough!
