BUG: Changes to WebClass Templates Not Always Detected

• Microsoft Visual Basic Professional and Enterprise Editions for Windows, version 6.0

SYMPTOMS

When working on an HTML template in the WebClass designer, changes to the HTML file made outside of Visual Basic are normally detected when returning to the Visual Basic IDE. If the file is edited by selecting "Edit HTML Template..." from the template's context menu (displayed on right-click) then, upon return to Visual Basic, you will be prompted to reload the file.

STATUS

Microsoft is researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

MORE INFORMATION

The most common cause of this problem is setting focus to a window other than the WebClass designer in the Visual Basic IDE before switching to the external editor. Upon return to Visual Basic, if the focus is not on the designer window, then the prompt will not appear.

In certain cases, external changes will not be detected and developers should always make certain to reload their changes when returning to the IDE. If the prompt does not appear, then this can be done by selecting "Refresh HTML Template" from the template's context menu. If the HTML file is not reloaded after making external changes and the project is later saved, then those changes could be overwritten.
