Assembly Resources Not Updating for Custom Sitefinity Widget
I am having an issue with a Sitefinity widget that resides in a separate assembly. I have a JavaScript file and ascx defined as embedded resources to the assembly for this widget. When I deploy an updated assembly to the bin folder of our production server I noticed that the resource files don't always update and it is as if I am still using an older version of the resource files.
So far I have been able to resolve this issue by creating a script that clears the ASP.NET Temporary Cache and performs an IISRESET on the server. It's almost as if the shadow copy operation for asp.net does not copy the assemblies to the ASP.NET Temporary Cache.
Has anyone ever had or seen this issue before? If so, how did you resolve this issue?
Also, here is the script to perform the IISRESET and clean the asp.net temporary cache.
