DLL not released after ending debugging

[Harry F. Harrison]

I'm using System.Activator to dynamically load dlls, and when finished
running the app in debug mode, I can not re-compile the DLLS. It complains
that the files are locked.

If I kill the aspnet_wp process in task manager, I am then able to rebuild
the dlls.

Any ideas?

Hi Harry:

HTH,

Thanks Scott.

I was using Assembly.LoadFile instead of Assembly.LoadFrom. The blog states
that LoadFile doesn't go through the same code that uses the Shadow Copy
Feature.
