    visual studio won't compile what i modify

    i am making projects in visual studio but no matter what i do to the source it always works, and it always runs an older version of the program. i can delete everything in the source and it still compiles and runs
    here is a screenshot of my deleted source, and me running the most current project

    Try cleaning the project. This is the clean option under project settings. Also close and re-open visual studio. Check the directory and make sure only the files you want are in there.

    try "rebuild all" if it isn't deleted completely (out of the recycle bin)

    Usually helps When in doubt, rebuild all. The only thing that might be bad about rebuild all is the fact that it'll have to re-compile/link every single source file, but usually that's not a problem.
    Just Google It. √

    make sure there are no files included in the project, in your picture you have 3. Those are the ones being compiled and run, if you change other files it still compiles just those included in the project.

    I've done this numerous times....
