web app service not updating after deployment

Question

i have deployed my web app (.net web forms) a number of times over the last few days. A week ago, it was updating fine and i would see my new version of the app appear in my browser as expected. Over the last several days, although my deployment center shows a successful build and deployment, the app in the browser is stuck on the older version from about a week ago. I've tried stopping/starting the app, updating the web.config manually, iisreset from kudo (although permissions did not allow me to do this), and a few other things recommended online but i cannot get the new version to appear in my browser. I looked at the logs from the deployment and it shows a successful build. Any ideas ?

You can disable caching in your web.config file by adding the following lines:

<system.webServer>

<caching enabled="false" />

</system.webServer>
