Problem
The project always shows an old status or an old version of the application when the „Start“-Button of Visual Studio has been clicked.
When the Build process is started manually before pressing the start button, the program version is the current / acutal one.
The target state should be that the program has always the current version without calling the BUILD funtion explicit.
Assumption
The root cause of this issue only occurs in a Visual Studio solution with more than one project.
Solution
- Make sure the project (i.e. „TestProject“) is set as startup project with the context menu (it appears bold in the project explorer).
- Right-click the Visual Studio Solution and select „Properties“.
- Got to the „configuration“ page in the appearing window (left side of the dialog)
- Select the „Build“ checkbox for the project that always shows the old status
- Press the OK button and try again.
