Button.Text property not updated in compiled executable
Hello folks,
Sometimes (including right now) when i change a property in my program, such as the text property
of buttons and labels, and i run the debug button in visual studio 2010 (.net 4.0), the text remains
unchanged.
button1.Text has been: "Test Credentials" for forever.
Now i want to change this property to "Test FTP Credentials".
In visual studio, everything looks and acts normal, but when i hit the debug button, the text is still: "Text Credentials"
I experienced this problem on other computers and visual studio versions as well, and am not
entirely sure of the cause, but i think maybe the executable or some parts of it, are cached somewhere, and not updated, but that is just a guess.
See, code wise, and Visual studio wise, everything looks correct.
Its just, when running the compiled executeable, the button still says, "Test Credentials"
I checked, for the text "test" , and there are only 2 buttons, which have the text: "test"
The other button is, "Test WEBTOOL credentials" and works fine.

Btw, you have other differences as well. For example "Remote Server" vs. "Remote".
Thank you Arjay, Thou art a genius.
I wrote a small batch script that searches for the relevant text:
Code:
set str=test
set outputfn=test.txt
for /f "tokens=*" %%a in ('dir /b *.cs') do (
set fn=%%a
call :FUNCTION_findstr
)
pause
exit
:FUNCTION_findstr
find /i "%str%" "%fn%">>"%outputfn%"
GOTO:EOF
which resulted in
---------- FORM1.CS
private void button_test_credentials_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
test_ftp_credentials();
private void button_test_webtool_credentials_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
test_webtool_credentials();
private void test_webtool_credentials()
MessageBox.Show("The test failed, please check if the server is up,\r\nif the pb webtool is configured correctly,\r\nif the webtool URL is correct.", "Test Failed");
MessageBox.Show("Webtool Credentials appear valid :-)", "Test Succeeded!");
MessageBox.Show("Webtool Credentials appear invalid", "Test Failed");
// Check if all FTP credentials are filled in to enable the test credentials button.
button_test_ftp_credentials.Enabled = true;
button_test_ftp_credentials.Enabled = false;
button_test_webtool_credentials.Enabled = true;
button_test_webtool_credentials.Enabled = false;
foreach (string bytestr in bytes)
calc = int.Parse(bytestr);
private void test_ftp_credentials()
ftp_test();
MessageBox.Show("Wrong FTP username / FTP password / host", "Test Failed");
MessageBox.Show("FTP Credentials appear valid :-)", "Test Succeeded!");
private void ftp_test()
button_test_ftp_credentials.Text = "Test Details";
button_test_ftp_credentials.Text = "Test Credentials";
string latestversion = string.Join("", version_arr);
if (int.Parse(latestversion) > int.Parse(internal_version))
where i found: button_test_ftp_credentials.Text = "Test Credentials";
So the property was being changed at run time, and i forgot all about that.
As for the other differences you mentioned in the image, those are not actually different, they just look different.
Sometimes that happens, and i have to bring those controls to the front, and then it appears normal:

Glad you got it figured out.
Btw, Visual Studio has a "Find in files" function built in. It's the folder icon on the toolbar, or you can access it from the "Edit\Find and Replace\Find in files" menu item.
