Compiling a project just freezes

[Simon Jefferies]

Hello,

I am having trouble building a visual basic project. It is quite common and
can be the first time or after a number of builds where it starts to compile
a project and freezes waiting for something. I can stop the build and it
responds.

I've tried rebuilding and make no difference, it will always stop at the
same project in the solution. I have to close .NET down and reload it which
is very annoying.

Why does this happen? Is there another solution to fix this issue?

Thanks in advance,

Regards

Delete the project's "bin" and "obj" folders and try again.

Thanks,

Thats didnt make any difference. It still does the same thing.

One thing i've noticed is that when I exit .NET it crashes too and asks to
restart which is exactly what I need!

But I wish it didnt have to go through this painful process.

Any further ideas would be appreciated...

I had this before, it was because a dll that I was trying to access was
being used by someone else on the network for some programing, I copied the
dll localy and removed and add the DLL and all was fine.
