Visual Studio deploying old version - asp.net

I'm deploying an ASP.NET webapp with Visual Studio. When I do a local test, the changes aren't always saved-- it deploys an older version of some pages. When I try to deploy it to Azure or run it just in chrome the changes aren't saving.
I've tried deleting temporary ASP.NET files from C:/Windows/etc. and deleting the old deployment data, but none of it works.
What could be causing this problem?

I have experienced a similar problem.
Your proxy server could be caching the data and serving you with an older version. Use a different network to access the website. If it shows the newer version, then you can conform that it is indeed the caching problem.

ASP.Net Core 2 - IIS 502.5 Error

I am creating an ASP .Net Core (2.0) MVC application within Visual Studio 2017 which was working absolutely fine.
After turning off my computer yesterday and coming back to my application today, I now receive this browser error when I start the application in chrome without debugging.
Running dotnet run within the directory of the application, I can access the site just fine. It is just when I run it via Visual Studio/IIS Express I get this error.
HTTP Error 502.5 - Process Failure
The application builds and compiles just fine. I have also cleaned the solution.
Looking in the event logs I find:
Application 'MACHINE/WEBROOT/APPHOST/MYAPP' with
physical root 'C:\Users\Ben Hawkins\Desktop\Development Folder
\Dev\Website\Version_2\MYAPP\MYAPP\'
failed to start process with commandline 'C:\Program Files
(x86)\Microsoft Visual
Studio\2017\Community\Common7\IDE\Extensions\Microsoft\Web
Tools\ProjectSystem\VSIISExeLauncher.exe -argFile "C:\Users\Ben
Hawkins\AppData\Local\Temp\tmp3547.tmp"', ErrorCode = '0x80004005 :
0.
Within my output window in Visual Studio 2017 I recieve this message under
ASP NET CORE WebServer
Failed to initialize CoreCLR, HRESULT: 0x80131534
What I have tried:
Cleaning the solution, rebuilding etc
Restarting the computer
Trying to launch another application. (Same result)
Created a new application from scratch. Same result.
Repairing Visual Studio Community 2017. Same result.
Stopping/Closing IIS Express
My setup was working perfectly yesterday and suddenly is not.
Thank you for your time. I hope we can find a solution.
We finally found the issue! After logging on to the machine as a different user, we saw a warning that the main user had ignored initially. There was a 0 byte file in the root of the directory named "Program" with no file extension. It appears that this causes some sort of issue when VSIISExeLauncher.exe is invoked through Visual Studio. (Note it would work if executed from the command prompt). After deleting the file, everything worked!
We do not know how this file was placed there for certain, but suspect it was some sort of copy error when the user was pulling in files from his old hard drive.
I don't know if anyone else will come across this, but if so hopefully this helps!
Maybe you need install previous versions of .NET Core, isn't it? I installed here and it works now. I had only .NET Core 2.0 installed and I realized that applications with 1.1 stopped so when running. In Windows' event logs I've had the same error registered.
Try to change the IISExpress to IIS by creating new IIS profile and change the Lunch to IIS. It resolved my problem.
I have hit a very similar issue with ASP.net Core 2.0. I had copied my VS project to a new one, and I was getting this error message.
After doing some research, I was able to determine that the nlog.config file was not copied into the bin > Debug > net461 folder. Once I did this, I was able to run my application.
I found it by running dotnet run from the command line on my project where the csproj files live.
Had same issue yesterday (windows 10).
Solved it this way:
Update Microsoft.AspNetCore to latest (Nuget manager - 2.1.3)
Make sure the sdk also updated to latest version. if not, update it manually from Nuget console like this:
Install-Package Microsoft.NETCore.App -Version 2.1.3
Download and install latest ASP.NET Core/.NET Core: Runtime & Hosting Bundle
from here
Same problem with version 2.2. Reinstalling .NET Core SDK fixed the problem for us.
In my case, my project was setup as a website in IIS and the file "bin\IISSupport\VSIISExeLauncher.exe" was missing in the project's directory.
I simply selected "IIS" when debugging the project in Visual Studio 2019 and it generated the missing file. It also generated 2 text files (IISExeLauncherArgs.txt, pidfile.txt) in the IISSupport folder, made changes to my web.config file, and my project ran successfully.
After that I was able to access the local website that was setup in IIS without running it in Visual Studio.

Application not appearing on IIS after running setup

I have created a web setup in visual studio 2013. When I install it, only the bin folder is created in IIS, hence I cannot browse my website. Help please.
I have added the Primary Output in the Web Application folder in my setup.
Your question is too confusing. Are you uploading your files on to the web server? Or are you trying to setup your visual studio for debugging, test, editing and coding purposes?
If you are trying to run Visual Studio locally, IIS is setup for you automatically.
If you are trying to setup files to a webserver, try to talk to the live support. Sometimes, we, users, dont have full control or lack of knowledge debugging it on the dedicated server.
Other thing to consider is reinstalling your visual studio carefully.

Debugger For Visual Studio is not Working

I am facing a very serious issue with visual studio debugger. My asp.net application is hosted on local IIS server. Yesterday i was debugging my code suddenly it stopped working. I verified w3wp process. It was same as IIS process. Then i tried to download symbols but i am not sure either they are all that i need. I tried attaching debugger on visual studio 10 and visual studio 12. Neither of them is working in this case. I tried to attach debugger of JavaScript but it is also not working.
Please Help.
Are you building full debugging symbols? If not then the debugger has no information to relate the source code to the in memory activity under the debugger. This is set in the project properties per configuration.
Also ensure the symbols are in the bin folder.
You can validate that VS is loading the right symbols with the Debug | Modules window.
I cleared temporary cache of .NET Framework. then i again deployed my application on IIS with different name and magically everything started working.

ASP.NET web app not deploying correctly on Windows server 2012

So here's the thing. I recently updated a web project to use nuget for its dependencies, which in turn updated all of those dependencies to the latest versions.
Quite a task as there were some breaking changes, but I have the thing running locally perfectly.
We use TeamCity to pull the solution from bitbucket and deploy it the the local iis folder on a development (staging) server.
After a build, the website seems very poorly, first off it complains:
Could not load file or assembly
'file:///C:\web\Dev.Pegfect.Presentation\bin\mscorlib.dll' or one of
its dependencies. An attempt was made to load a program with an
incorrect format.
Which is strange since my local copy does not have a copy of mscorlib in its web bin folder. Should be using the GAC? If I remove the dll, I get a new error (some NHibernate issue complaining about reflection). I haven't pursued that since it all seems environmental.
If I copy my local bin folder over the server web bin, it starts to run ok albeit extremely slowly (relative to how it used to).
So, the question "what have you tried" - i am currently installing VS 2012 onto the server and will try building the project from source directly. I am also considering updating TeamCity from v7 to v9.
I could also try to reinstall IIS8.0 on the server.
These are desperate, blind shots in the dark. What would you try?
FWIW the project is targeting .NET 4.5.1 (ANY CPU)
OK, so I will leave it here as it might help someone.
So, the project has been building, deploying and running successfully on the server compiled to .NET 4.5.1 with no problem.
The recent packages update moved us from MVC v4 to MVC v5. (amongst other things). Running .NET fix tool suggested 4.5.1 was corrupted, so I downloaded the developer version and installed and now its fine.

Deploy from Visual Studio 2010 stopped working after upgrade to Web Deployment Tool 2.1

I have a web site project that has been existing for a while - it has been ASP.NET MVC2 based up until right now. .Net 4, Visual Studio 2010 Sp1, deployed to IIS 7.5 running on Win2008 R2.
I have four separate deployment profiles - "alpha", "test", "staging" and "live". Yes, I could probably have come up with better names, but they should hopefully convey what they are for.
It was recently decided to upgrade to MVC3 to take advantage of new awesomeness like Razor, global filter attributes, and start using NuGet etc. So I went on an upgrade binge with the Web Platform Installer. One of the things I updated was the Web Deployment Tool - both my developer machine (where the MVC3 upgrade happens) and the web server got this new version of the tool installed.
Since then, I have not been able to do deployments. I have gone back to earlier versions of my project (thanks to git for allowing me to painlessly go back to any previous version) and tried to deploy them, and they don't work either.
Whenever I try to do a deployment from Visual Studio I get the following error:
Web deployment task failed.((23.05.2011 11:18:24) An error occurred when the request was processed on the remote computer.)
(23.05.2011 11:18:24) An error occurred when the request was processed on the remote computer.
Unable to cast object of type 'Microsoft.Web.Deployment.DeploymentSyncOptions' to type 'Microsoft.Web.Deployment.DeploymentSyncOptions'.
I can see why that cast would be hard. ;)
But seriously - how can we get deployment from Visual Studio to work again? In the future we will do this using our CI server, and install a deployment package using MsBuild automatically on the correct web server depending on the git branch that was updated, but that is some time in the future.
I have full access to both machines so any other information need can hopefully be gathered.
You might be having beta version of web deploy on your box if you have ever installed web platform installer v2 beta. YOu can check that by
gacutil -l Microsoft.web.deployment.
If you see any 7.5.0.0 version then you have a beta version. Uninstall this version. You need to check and change this on both the client as well as the server.
Owais is right - this is very likely because you have a pre-release version installed. Rune can you please check and let me know?
