ASP>NET changes appearing as 404 file

[blaster998]

Hi there,
I am making ASP.NET changes to my site which is on a Windows 2000 platform. Does anyone know why after each time changes are done, that strange behaviours happen? For example, the new files are either:

a) show as old files still
b) not found at all (404 file not found error)

Does a reboot have to be done to the server every time to make the changes "stick"?

Thanks!

Welcoem to WebmasterWorld,

Are you using any caching or a global.asax? You should not have to reboot for changes to take. Is it on all files or just ones that are using certian classes from the framework?

We use cache but not on the pages we are interested in.
global.asax exists, nothing fancy inside - just variables are being defined, not a single word about caching.

You're right, we should not have to reboot...but that is the issue. Why should I do it in order to changes be seen by users?

Yes, a special case - when redirection to other application
is being made and control is returned back (credit card
payment system on other URL), the page that posted back
behaves strangely (this page is contained be a frame, so session variables are not to be lost here).
