In our customized ArcGIS Explorer Desktop 2500,
  I have a working custom Gallery Add-in which is part of the configuration file also.

  The addin Gallery1.eaz was created and built with MS VS 2008 using VB.NET.  This was working fine.


  When I needed to make some small changes to the Visual Studio Solution, Gallery1.sln;
     - I made changes to the code in Gallery1.vb and a simple change to the Addins.xml.
     - I rebuilt the code and it was built successfully
           (Build Action for Gallery1.sln is "Compile" and Build Action for AddIns.xml is "Content".)
     - I removed the add-in, Gallery1.eaz, from the configuration file.
     - I added the add-in, Gallery1.eaz,  back into the configuration file


   When I open the EXplorer Desktop, the new changes are not visible.
It shows the Add-in as it was before I made new changes.


    *** However, if I create a total new Project in Visual Studio, called Gallery2.sln;
              - I copied the code from Gallery1.sln into Gallery2.sln and made the new changes
              - I built the Visual Studio Solution with the new name, Gallery2.sln
              - I removed Gallery1.eaz from the ArcGIS Explorer config file, and added the new name Gallery2.eaz
              - Then IT Works


     *** How can I make changes or modify the custom add-in using the same name,
              without having to create a new Visual Studio Project?
              - Are there certain settings within MS Visual Studio to accomplish this?
              - Or are there certain steps within the config file when trying to add a modified custom add-in to the config file?

     Thanks,
         Brian
