program not updating

Sep 9, 2012 at 2:59am
I am a total noob having a problem with my program not updating after adding lines of code. It was updating just fine but then stopped when I moved a cout statement outside of a loop. Before, when I would click on Debug, I would be asked if I wanted to build. Now that is not happening, the black box pops up without building. I have tried clicking on build and also rebuild, but the new cout statements that I've added don't show up. I can also delete lines from the program but when I debug, the program runs as if they are still there. I have also logged out and restarted my computer to no avail. I am on a Mac, using my school's citrix environment to access Visual studio 2010. There is prolly something simple I'm overlooking and if you could let me know what that is, I'd appreciate it.

I don't know for sure but it sounds like a setting was misclicked that is now 'protecting' ur code from any changes. On VS2010 there is a little dark blueish 'lock' symbol/icon next to the name of the file that is tabbed/open for those files which are protected (STL libraries for example).

Outside of VS, is the attribute on the file itself on read-only ?

Could you give us the code?
