a simple question about project dll

[Alexandre Soares]

Hi,
When I work on a project, I often have another instance of vs.net open to
edit a project containing custom controls. When I make a change in the
controls, I compile the control assembly and then I copy over the dll to my
main project's bin folder, overwriting the older version. Sometimes this
operation works, but other times, I get a "File is in use by another
process" error. I understand that probably vs.net is using the dll, but how
comes sometimes it works and other times it doesn't. If someone can explain
that to me, I'd be most grateful.

Thank you!

may depend on what you have "open" in the VS editor....
