Restarting IIS to build...

[Jerry Boone]

I have a development unit running XP Pro and I cannot get it to build a web
project without restarting IIS.

There errors in the task list are....

! Could not copy temporary files to the output directory
! The file'bin\project1.dll' cannot be copied to the run directory. The
process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process.
! The file'bin\project1.pdb' cannot be copied to the run directory. The
process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process.

The only difference between this unit and the other two running identical
installations is that I set the IIS default home directory to f:\wwwroot
instead of going along with the default c:\intepub\wwwroot folder.

This is not a permissions problem because it writes fine once IIS has been
restarted. I compared all other IIS properties and came up with nothing.

From my best diagnosis so far... I would say this is an issue with the GAC?

This is really a very annoying problem.

Probably you have a Web Application that has a reference to the
project1.dll, both of them are loaded in the same solution.
So, the ASP.NET worker process locks the files they have references, and
when Visual Studio.NET tries to overwrite the project1.dll, it cannot be
done because aspnet_wp.exe is already locking it.

Try building project1.dll on another separate solution

Hmm... Maybe I am missing something or didn't say something... how would I
build one solution using a separate solution?

The project is a vb asp.net web application and the output is the dll -- I
will explain some steps to duplicate...

I start a new vb asp.net web app, drop a label on a page, set the code
behind load event to change the text property to "hello" and build the
project.

Build... works great...
Change some code behind & build... works great...
Run the web app from within the IDE... works great...
Stop the app and make more changes & build or run.... works great...

However... start the browser and browse to the page
Change some code and build...
The errors show up in the task list and the build is not successful.
Restarting IIS releases the hold on the bin directory files and then the
build works.

Jerry,

I has a very similiar problem but mine was related to the Indexing Service
running on my W2K machine, which I had to disable. I was then able to
compile and run my .NET web application without restarting IIS every time.
