I have an ASP.net that I built in VS2010 running in iis7 however when I go back into VS and make updates to the code behind file and re-publish the application still acts as it has before I made the changes. I have tried deleting and republishing all the files and restarting the app pool but it still doesn’t affect how the application behaves.

DO NOT publish your vb and cs file on there server unless you feel like having your source code potentially exposed. There have been multiple vulnerabilities that have allowed code download.
Publish the application to a folder via the visual studio publish menu.
On the server, go into your temporary aspnet folder for example:
c:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\Temporary ASP.NET Files
and find your app and delete it. If you cannot delete the files stop the worker process (w3wp.exe) or restart iis.
Republish and all should be good. If you are in doubt if that version is getting executed then add some logging in the new version or trace information.
