VB 2008 express:
This afternoon (using all day) no matter what changes I make to the code or design, my VB application stays the same when debugged or published.
I can even go in and delete EVERY line of code and it still runs (Debugging) and publishes just fine.

Bad code will not show as error in error list.

What is going on?


Closed program, restarted, PC rebooted same results.

This is not a new installation of VB2008EXP
 
Fixed it...
I selected everything on design copied it, deleted it then pasted it back...all is well
 
I've never heard of that before, but you might try right clicking on the Solution or Project and select clean. If that doesn't do it then you could try deleting the everything under both Debug/Release in the obj and bin sub folders. As long as you have already restored your code to the project after having delete it.

-My kingdom for a edit button!
 
Are you compiling the project as debug or release... this will send the output to different directories under /bin/. You might be compiling it one way, but looking in the other directory.
 
debugging...what I thought was a fix really just showed the changes visually in design panel. But, when debugging it runs but none of the buttons work & textbox fields are now blank where they filled in with information from my bound data in datagrid.
