My executable is still in an old version

I compile the VB project and when I open the folder to get the generated exe, it is still with old date, which in this case is 18/03/2017 and not 20/04/2017. Is there anything I should do? I compile like this: Ctrl+F5 and then open the folder where the project is. Is there another way? I may be wrong, but in Delphi, for example, I can have the fonts in one folder and generate the exe in another. I think VB too, but I don’t know how to do this.

Note: For some people, I have used the visual-studio tag, because she compiles VB(depends on the version) and the question has to do with compilation, exe generation and this is properly configured in the IDE.

  • You’re not just compiling a "Start With Full Compile".

    In Visual Studio the assemblies version configuration is part of the source code of the project that will be compiled, so it has nothing to do with the IDE. If you compile via command line you will have the same version features.

    What I think is likely in your case is that between the IDE and the compiler, one of the two decided that their source code that generates the EXE had no significant changes between the dates in the post. Hence the compiler does not generate a new executable. I think if you modify some statement, you should see the compiler generate a new executable.
