❔ IIS Express Modifying DLLs
Basically, we have a website that is hosted on IIS, and what happens is that during application startup, we record the last modified date of the DLL files and save that as our last "Update date"
And then proceed to display that as the update date to all users
Issue came, when for some reason IIS express started modifying the DLLs at in early morning hours
This whole process is getting scrapped and replaced cause it's awful and shouldn't have been implemented in the first place, but I'm curious, why does IIS express modify the DLLs?

Just a wild guess - maybe it locks the dlls, because they are being executed? And the process of locking a file updates it modification date, maybe
I haven't checked any of this
just a thought

Even dumber than I imagined
Basically, the app itself modifies the dlls
I'm not sure what on earth I'm supposed to do about that now
