How do you clear your Visual Studio cache on Windows Vista?

I have a problem where my ASP.NET controls are not able to be referenced from the code behind files.

I found a solution in Stack Overflow question ASP.NET controls cannot be referenced in code-behind in Visual Studio 2008.

But I cannot seem to find my Visual Studio cache to clear it. I am using Visual Studio 2005 on Windows Vista.

Solution

  • The accepted answer gave two locations:

    here

    C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Local Settings\Temp\VWDWebCache

    and possibly here

    C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\WebsiteCache

    Did you try those?

    Edited to add

    On my Windows Vista machine, it's located in

    %Temp%\VWDWebCache

    and in

    %LocalAppData%\Microsoft\WebsiteCache

    From your additional information (regarding team edition) this comes from Clear Client TFS Cache:

    Clear Client TFS Cache

    Visual Studio and Team Explorer provide a caching mechanism which can get out of sync. If I have multiple instances of a single TFS which can be connected to from a single Visual Studio client, that client can become confused.

    To solve it..

    For Windows Vista delete contents of this folder

    %LocalAppData%\Microsoft\Team Foundation\1.0\Cache
