Until earlier this week I have been able to make changes to my .cshtml Razor views while debugging my application and see the changes when I refreshed the page. Now, all of a sudden, the changes are not reflected until I stop debugging and rebuild.

I haven't made any changes in the past week or so that I can think of, to include adding any new NuGet packages.

Edit and Continue is enabled under Tools => Options => Debugging. Also, I'm using VS2015 Professional so IntelliTrace wouldn't be getting in the way.

I have tried the following solutions from another question about Edit and Continue but none have worked for me.

Close and reopen the solution;
Restart Visual Studio;
Make sure I'm not using dynamic method parameters;
Delete the bin and obj folders along with the .suo file in the .vs folder then restart Visual Studio;
Updated all of the NuGet packages for the solution;
Ensure <EmbedInteropTypes>True</EmbedInteropTypes> is nowhere in my solution;
Run VsPerfCLREnv /globaloff.

What is the build action of your views set to? – DavidG Apr 05 '17 at 21:51
@DavidG The build action is "Content". – James Mazikowski Apr 06 '17 at 13:08
After doing a bit of poking around, it turns out that everything works fine if I'm working from the solution folder on my local machine. The problem only seems to presents itself when I copy the solution to a network share and work on it from there. – James Mazikowski Apr 11 '17 at 21:50
Oh dear, don't ever do that! – DavidG Apr 11 '17 at 21:51
