Related question: Visual Studio 2013 - project shows up as "Miscellaneous Files"
I have a really strange issue where when I debug my project a certain class is appearing as a 'Miscellaneous File' and is actually appearing from another branch of the same project.
I have cleaned the solution, checked the csproj files for references. I can't find anything in google about this and found only one related question in SOF which doesn't have any answers.
Any ideas? courses of action?
The problem was very specific to my project. But I will try and explain what happened anyway. The issue was that my website needs to be able to run in a sub folder (Staging) for this to work javascript needs to understand what the root of the site is (i.e. Domain.com/Staging instead of Domain.com)
Locally on my machine I tested against this 'Staging' folder by mapping in the web project IIS Express settings.
The problem started happening when the setting telling javascript that the root was 'Staging' when I was actually running against the root.
Javascript correctly - but mistakenly - then posted to the Staging folder. Which was mapped to the old branch. hence the issue. IIS ran against my old solution instead of the branch I was actually expecting.
I doubt that will help you if you have a simular issue. But there you go.
