Have you ever had a vb form file suddenly revert to an earlier version with no source control?
I am still trying to figure out what the hell happened...
Yesterday, I opened up my VB project that I have been working on for a
while. I put a day's worth of work into the code for a particular form.
Last night I had everything the way I like it, I had tested it several times
(read as more than 10), everything was fine, I made a minor adjustment here
or there for aesthetic reason. Before I leave, I make an EXE out of it, and
then I test that several times.
I get back in this morning, fire up VB, and BANG, 80% of the code I wrote
yesterday is missing from that one particular form's code. My machine was
locked to my password (so no, nobody booted it up, logged in, and did
anything malicious.) We have a VERY stringent firewall system here, so I
highly doubt somebody was messing with my machine (and it would be a little
too ridiculous that the only thing that happened was they deleted some code
from my form.)
Now, if the form's code was identical to the code I started with yesterday,
it would potentially be less confusing, but it doesn't. The form now has
portions of the code I wrote yesterday. I do not have source control set on
this machine so VSS didn't replace it somehow. I didn't manipulate any of
the forms/files directly except through vb via coding and saving before
running. No copying, et cetera...
My dilemna is that there wasn't a copy of this code ANYWHERE, so how could
it suddenly show up on my machine this morning?
Anybody have any ideas? Is there a place that VB stores temp data that
perhaps, when I started it up this morning, VB replaced the form code
thinking it was the right code? I am totally at a loss to explain this...
Thanks,
Hans
