App_Browser file changes not being picked up by ASP.Net app

Question

I recently deployed a browser file called 'BrowserFile.browser' under App_Browsers folder. Previously, it did not exist.

However, I am finding that the browser file is not being read by the ASP.Net app.

Do I need to recycle the app pool of the ASP.Net app or restart the app? I am using ASP.Net 4.0.

UPDATE: I just discovered that the ASP.Net app is now reading the 'BrowserFile.browser', and so I think, that app pool recycle or app restart is needed for the browser file changes to take effect.

That, I believe is the answer to my question.

Answer 1

App pool recycle or app restart is required for browser file changes under App_Browsers folder, to take effect in an ASP.Net app.
