Details:
I am using visual studio 2005 on windows xp sp3. The website is stored on file system. I used subversion to checkout the code from the server.
Here is the issue:
When I run the application for the first time everything is fine. But when I makes changes in the application then I should just be able to see those changes by reloading the page in browser. But it’s not happening. I have to stop the development server and re-run the application which will start a new instance of development server and now I can see the changes. This takes like 3-4 minutes and it’s a lot of waste of time which I can’t afford.
For my fellow developer who is here for a long time everything is just working fine. He can just modify the page and reload the page in browser to see the changes.
Reading some forums on web, I tried to clear the cache of my browser (IE, Firefox) and it’s not working. So, it’s not a browser’s cache issue. It’s related to cache in development server.
Any ideas are appreciated!!!
Thanks for the help guys. It was actually my fault. I actually disabled directory monitory day before yesterday because it wasn’t allowing me to build the website. I just found that solution on some forum. I had no idea what that thing was at that time, I was just happy that it worked.

I set the value to 2 for ‘HKLM\Software\Microsoft\ASP.NET\FCNMode’ registry key. If I set it to 0 then project goes into an infinite build, may be it’s because of the slow machine. The value 2 works for me.
