Code changes not taking effect when developing features
Wasted a chunk of time because I kept getting a "method not found SomeCLass..ctor()" error. Regardless of the error the fact was that the constructor was there and I kept rebuilding my solution but no changes took place.
Then I remembered I was doing SharePoint feature development and had a deployed version of the feature on my box. So my calls for the class were getting routed by the .net runtime to the version on the assembly in the GAC(c:\windows\assembly) not the local project version. Ugh!
Once I retracted my feature and rebuilt the solution all was well again.
