Autosaving? in VB2005 express

Normally if I close a project after making changes to Form1.vb I get a
message "Save Changes to the following item's".
That's nice, because if you did not like the changes you answer "No".
Now all of a sudden I don't get that message anymore, the project closes and
saves all the changes, so I have to re-open the project and remove them by
hand.

Any idea's how I can restore the old situation?

Jaap Bos,

A couple of things to check:

From the Tools menu, choose Options.

On the Options dialog, be sure that Show all settings is checked (in the
lower left corner of the dialog).

Under Environment, AutoRecover, be sure the settings are what you want.

Under Projects and Solutions, Build and Run, be sure the settings are what
you want.

Thanks a lot Kerry!

Under Projects and Solutions/Build the default was "Before building save all
changes".
I did not know that this is also true for debugging, so if I make some
changes, started to debug and am not satisfied with the result and close the
project the changes had already been saved.
I changed the setting to "Prompt to save" and my problems are over :-) .

I'm still a bit mystified. Why the default saving when only debugging?
So if I have a program, include a new messagebox, start debugging and answer
"No" to the "Promt to save", the debugging shows the messagebox.
Stopping the debug and exiting the project again prompt me for the save.
So what is the deeper thought behind the default saving when only debugging?

Anyway, this "saves" me a lot of cleaning up!

Groeten,

Jaap
