Refreshing DXC after calls are removed from a DLL

I am currently using Document X 2008 to create help for a .NET assembly. Recently, I created a new project from a .DLL and created a new content (DXC) file to go along with it. The content contains a few hundred methods and properties.

Today, I have received a new, updated .DLL in which some of the methods and properties were removed. Although I pulled in the new .DLL into my project and rebuilt, I am still seeing entries for removed methods and properties in my DXC file.

Right now, it looks to me like there is no way I can pull these methods/properties out of my DXC file and that I will have to recreate the DXC file entirely from scratch in a new project. How can I update the DLL in a project and update the DXC file without rewriting all of my content?

Each time you open the project or content file, Document! X reads all the members etc. from the assembly - i.e. there is no caching going on. So it seems most likely that Document! X is still looking to the old version of your assembly. Double check that you have copied the new assembly to the location that Document! X and the Content File are pointing to and ensure that the old assembly isn't in your GAC - as GAC assemblies are always used in preference to a local copy.

Let me know if that doesn't help solve the problem.
