DockPane testing various initial dock positions

[AbelPerez]

I have a DockPane set with

dock="group" dockWith="esri_core_contentsDockPane">

Now i want to test with 

dock="group" dockWith="esri_core_projectDockPane">

But the new position doesn't work. I seem to remember I had to clear my settings or a cache for the new position to take effect. What would I need to do to test this with various positions to determine what is best for my users?

Hi,

Making changes to config.daml doesn't initiate recompiling. You need to rebuild your add-in project to see changes.

I have cleaned and rebuilt the app several times and still doesnt work. Actually, in the Options>Addin Manager I also deleted the Addin then rebuilt and still not working.

Have you tried on existing project? Try on new project where your dockpane was not started. On Existing project move your dockpane to project dockpane side. Close dockpane and open again and it will be opened in last position. Project remembers your dockpane last position.

My code

<dockPane id="MyAddin_DockPanes_LayersDkp" caption="Layers" className="DockPanes.LayersDkpViewModel" dock="group" dockWith="esri_core_contentsDockPane">

I then clean and rebuild the addin. I open new map project and notice that my DockPane is not present in any pane. I click on the button in my addin and my custom DockPane appears on the right while my Pro Contents pane is on the left. I remember struggling with this several years ago and thought I had to clear some cache or a settings file.
