I’ve inherited an ASP.NET project that uses a single Default.aspx file in the public_html root to do most of the work.

The changes I’m making are minor, but I can’t seem to get them to stick. If I edit the Default.aspx file, the server will still serve the old version. Creating a new .aspx file will initially compile it and run it, but then it’s stuck in its “original request” form.

I thought .aspx files were subject to “dynamic recompilation” if they were changed, but this isn’t triggered in my case. I’ve tried updating the Web.config file but is has no effect.

I’m not using Visual Studio for this, yet. I’d like to be able to just edit and update the files, if possible (the changes are very minor and I don’t have ready access to a Windows machine). The only access I have to the server is through FTP.

    Seems the issue was with my host, who aggressively cache stuff. I have to do a “restart” from inside their control panel to have the changes reflected.

    The host is Loopia.se, in case anyone else is using them. Use “Omstart av ASP.NET-applikationer” from inside the Customer Zone to restart things.

    (Yes, I do feel kind of silly now)
