Unable to Copy File

Does anyone know why in 2005 I might be getting this error everytime I try
and recompile?

Error 226 Unable to copy file "obj\Debug\myfi le.dll" to
"bin\Debug\myfi le.dll". The process cannot access the file
'bin\Debug\myfi le.dll' because it is being used by another process. myfile

Do you have multiple copies of vstudio open with a reference to this file?

You have to find out who has the DLL locked in order to start to
troubleshoot the problem. Try Unlocker or a similar utility
(http://ccollomb.free.fr/unlocker/).

Even after I unlock the dll using the unlocker, I still cannot compile. The
only way I have found that will fix this is to leave the IDE and Restart the
IDE.

Very strange.... Is it the IDE that has the file locked? Can you delete
the file after unlocking by either using the unlocker's delete function or
from the Explorer? If you can successfully delete the file outside of the
VS IDE can you then compile successfully?

There might be a bug like this logged for VS2005 already, but I am not
sure...

VS only locks one version of the file, and you CAN rename/move it.
You can use the following commands in the pre-build event of the
problem-project to workaround the problem:

if exist "$(TargetPath). locked" del "$(TargetPath). locked"
if not exist "$(TargetPath). locked" move "$(TargetPa th)"
"$(TargetPath). locked"
