Start Page

[Richard]

In VS 2003 Enterprise, the Start Page's modified date for
my projects does not update. No matter how often I work on
a project, the dates stay the same. It also appears that
the What's New link on the Online Resources tab has dated
information. For example, the first listing under
Highlights is Look Ahead to Visual Studio .Net 2003. FYI
my Profile is set to Visual Basic Developer, if that helps
you. Is there a setting that will enable these pages to
update correctly?

Thank you,
Richard

Hi Richard,

For some odd reason VS.NET seems to check *.sln file for the date - so if
your solution isn't modified the date will be old.
Go figure.

Hi Miha,

Thank you for your reply. I have 'Save All Changes'
selected in the Build and Run options
(Tools\Options\Environment\Project and Solutions), so
won't the .sln be updated if I make a change to a form and
press <F5>, for example? Otherwise, how do I make a change
to the .sln from within Visual Studio to force the date to
change?

No, the sln file is just a list of which projects are within solution, their
location in source safe (if any) and configuration data more or less.

Otherwise, how do I make a change

to the .sln from within Visual Studio to force the date to
change?

That't the question.
Maybe you could implement some sort of macro that touches the sln file or
something..

Don't know if you ever got a solution, but...

If you select the solution and save just it, it will update the date.
