Reference not updating

bigjoe714

Hello. Recently I added a reference in LINQPad to some custom assemblies I had developed. I then used them in my linqpad query. Later, I added new classes and methods to my assemblies, and rebuilt my project. However, my linqpad query could not access the new stuff that was added. I would get "type or namespace not found" errors. The LinqPAD intellisense could see the new stuff, but when actually executing the query I would get errors.

I have tried everything I could think of. I tried deleting ad re-adding the references. I tried deleting the linqpad temp folder. I tried uninstalling/reinstalling linqpad, but I am still having the same issue.

What else could I try?

Has anyone ever seen this?
Here is a screenshot.
As you can see, i get an error, but intellisense sees it.

Are you certain that you're pulling the references from the correct location?

Go to query properties -> "Additional namespace imports" tab -> Cleanup

Thanks. I tried the cleanup but no luck.

I am sure I am pulling the reference from the correct location. If you take a look at my screenshot above, you can see that Intellisense sees the object, but when I run it, it does not. It's like an old version is cached.

Further troubleshooting:
I copied the exact same DLLs to my coworkers machine. He ran the query and it worked. It seems like the old one is cached on my machine.

Could you have an older version referenced in 'My Extensions' or located in your Plugins folder?

sgmoore, Thank you!!! You were right, there was an old copy in my plugins folder.
