fatal error CS0042: Unexpected error creating debug information fi

[Guest]

Hi all

I keep getting this error while building a solution with more than 10
projects.

The solution/projects are open only in one instance of Visual Studio 2003
and the application (Windows Forms) isn't runnig.

How can I see what's loocking the files?

You can use http://www.sysinternals.com/ntw2k/freeware/procexp.shtml to
determine what app has a given file open(Find->Find Handle).

Thanks for Daniel's quick response!

Hi Paulo,

First of all, I would like to confirm my understanding of your issue. From
your description, I understand that you need some tool that can tell you
which process is using certain files. If there is any misunderstanding,
please feel free to let me know.

Daniel has provided us with a good link for Process Explorer. There is
another command line tool named handle on sysinternals site that can do the
same thing. It can be downloaded from the following link. The usage is
simple: handle filename.xxx

HTH.
