Outlook mail addin caches cant reload the debugging version


We are developing an Outlook Mail Addin for our product.

When i debug the solution in Visual Studio my Office365 Outlook account opens and i can see the plugin i developed in the list of outlook plugins and i can use it.

The problem is that even after stopping the solution in Visual Studio i can still use the plugin. And when i re-run the solution it displays the cached version of the addin not the current version that i have in visual studio.

Looks like the addin is cached somewhere. Can't seem to stop it.

How can i solve this problem?


Solution

  • Your browser is caching the files used by your add-in. If you deploy an updated version your browser will rely on the old files it still got cached. Deleting your browser's cache should solve the problem.
