asp.net 1.1 code build/deployment issue

[igovada]

Hi I've a development server, where I've set up and copied the code (ASP.NET 1.1 webapp in .NET 2003) from an existing QA server. But I'm having issues, seeing my code changes. When I make some change (aspx or code behind) and build the code, I'm not able to see the changes unless I deploy the dll in deploy directory, even when i'm executing the code in debug mode. i'm able to see the changes reflected when i open the url as http://localhost/logon.aspx, after I copy the dll from build directory to deploy directory. But why is it not showing in debug mode instantly , when i build the code.

Another associated issue is when I refer the same website as http://servername/logon.aspx on the development server browser, the javascript code doesn't appear to be working, as the button click events don't fire, any code writen in java script doesnt work, like calendar controls etc. But when I open the same url from another machine by the same url http://servername/logon.aspx, everything works fine, including javascript and my deployed changes. What could be the reason of such behaviour?


Your help is greatly appreciated Thanks

If the location for the website is set to be X, then trying to run/debug it will look for the webpage in X, if X does not have your recent changes, it will still be using your old ones.
What is the setup you are using for this webapplication?
(where are the code files stored, where does it deploy to, are you using PUBLISH to send it out, etc)

Sounds like your dev server's browser is probably doing one or more of the following:
blocking all javascript
blocking a session cookie
blocking dhtml(javascript?) code

I'm not using any setup program, for deployment, using xcopy method.
I have a virtual directory (deploy directory) in D:\MIMS folder, and my build directory is E:\Projects\Nike\RibSystem\Clients\Nike\NikeRIBWeb App. I build my code in D drive and deploy the dlls/aspx pages in E drive.
NikeRibWebApp is the name of virtual directory, and in IIS, in the Website properties - Home Directory tab, LocalPath is set to D:\MIMS and in the virtual directory properties, local path is set to E:\Projects\Nike\RibSystem\Clients\Nike\NikeRIBWeb App. Please let me know if i'm missing anything.

Thanks for detailed reply.
If dev server's browser would have been blocking javascript, opening the url http://localhost in the same dev server's browser should have also behaved the same way, but with localost, it works fine.

Could be set to allow javascript on localpages, something about local pages being in a trust zone maybe?

Yes, that solved my problem :-))))
I added servername url in Site list. Localhost was already there
Thanks so much....

But referring to first part of Q, before deployment of code to deploy directory, in debug mode, I should be able to see my code changes when I build and execute the code, which I'm not able to see. Why is it so?
