Trouble with acknowleding changes (SOLVED)

(1/2) > >>

jcoggins:
Maybe this is something that I am doing wrong but I can start a simple project (say something that simply prints "Hello World" to the screen) and it will build and run perfectly.  Then I change the program (by doing something as simple as having it print something other then "Hello World") and when I build and run the program again it does not acknowled that the original program has changed (it still prints "Hello World" instead of the new thing I told it to print).

Maybe there is some option in preferences that I do not have set right.

I am using the October 1st (4503) build.

Make sure you close out the running app displaying your message before you recompile.  If you dont do that then the exe is in use and cant be overwritten with your changes.  So when you run it again it -is- still using the same exe as before you updated the messages.

That work for you?

jcoggins:
No, this did not help.  I even shut down the computer and restarted it in the morning and it still refuses to acknowled the simple change I made in the program.  It acts as if it is not saving changes to the file (even though I told it to save all changes) and is reusing an old c++ source file.

7zip your project directory after you 'clean' it and upload it.  I'll download and test for you.

jcoggins:
What do you mean by "clean" it and where do I upload it too?
