Today I went to compile a solution I've been working on for months. I've
been off most of the last few months, so there's been a gap in the work, but
I did compile it a few times earlier this week.
Today I get a message:
Could not write to output file
'D:\DevelopmentProjects\Enterprise\CustomUtilities\obj\Debug\CustomUtilities
..dll' -- 'The process cannot access the file because it is being used by
another process. '
I found the KB article 313512
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;313512 but it
doesn't seem to apply. I do have one assembly over 64k, but not the one in
the error message. Furthermore, the output paths and Local Copy settings
check out.
I thought I would try just deleting the file manually and recompiling.
Explorer says it can't delete the file. If I exit VS then I can delete the
file. Going back into VS I get a message that it can't find an assembly,
but it compiles ok. But only the first time, after that it's back to that
error message.
Any ideas what is keeping this file locked and how to fix it?
