styles.css - Am I Going Mad?

[Camel]

I was just starting to learn what benefits could be gained through an
ASP.NET theme. To cut a long story short, I discovered that I can refer
to "styles.css" through any folder on my Development Web Server - and I
will be served with content (even if the file doesn't exist - which was
confusing when I did in fact have a file called "styles.css" and it
didn't look like my source code!).

I've tried to find, but there seems to be no reference to this
"feature". For the time being I'll just avoid using "styles.css", can
anybody enlighten me on this topic?

Regards,

Camel

styles.css is a reference to an external css stylesheet which would be
included in the page.

Except I was browsing directly to the style sheet in a folder where it
didn't exist. I've shifted to a new computer anyway and it's no longer
an issue. Maybe it was a caching problem? Who knows, unless it happens
again, I won't.

I think I know what caused this - I think it was the ASP.NET
Development Server. I've found that if I don't stop the server manually
(between code executions) then sometimes I see cached data. Hope this
helps somebody.
