Can anyone reproduce this sequence of events?
- I added 6 lines of code to of my data model view.
- I compile – no warnings, no errors, build successful.
- I run the app and the lines of code I added DO NOT EXECUTE!
In fact, I am getting an error that my code is different than the last time I compiled. Yet, I compiled when I hit F5 to run. :( - OK – remember that sometimes the temp cache can foul things up so delete the temp cache.
- Restart VS2008, load project, hit F5 and – what the hell? It still will not execute those lines and I still get the temp dll does not match error.
- So, go flush everything again, reboot, reload, rerun and – what the hell? It still will not execute those lines and I still get the temp dll does not match error.
The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.
Here are screen shots along the way:

UPDATE:
I was running in Debug/x86 mode. I changed it to Debug/Any CPU and what do you know – the above problem went away. I can’t wait to get my laptop back from the shop so I can install Win 7 x86 and run this code in both environments to see if there are really differences…
