about the troubles he was having with his VS.NET solution. He's trying to build into a shared binaries folder and is using direct Assembly references (rather than project references.) In fact, it appears that Intellisense is locking his assemblies http://www.hanselman.com/blog/CouldNotCopyTemporaryFilesToTheOutputDirectoryAndBigVSNETProjects.aspx just long enough to get one of the dreaded:Could not copy temporary files to the http://www.pcreview.co.uk/threads/compile-error-could-not-copy-temporary-files-to-the-output-directory.2139512/ output directory. The file 'assembly name' cannot be copied to the run directory. The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process. error CS0016: Could not write to output file 'fully qualified path of an assembly' -- 'The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process. ' Cannot delete the project output: could not is the file read-only? A failure occurred while attempting to start the application. And that sucks. Basically if you turn Copy Local to False and compile to one folder, you're screwed.The moral? We use NAnt for all builds. It's fairly simple, repeatable, and IJW. Otherwise, if your goal is to get all files to a shared bin, use a Post Build Event. «Vonage vs. AT&T CallVantage | Blog Home | The Simpsons: The Map of Springfield» About could not copy Scott Scott Hanselman is a former professor, former Chief Architect in finance, now speaker, consultant, father, diabetic, and Microsoft employee.

We just kick nant.exe with the right arguments and redirect the output to the VS Output window. You can even click on the compilation errors and jump to the appropriate part of the source code. Plus, you can do other fun things in the build file, like automatically kick off nunit, but I won't go into that. :)What technique do you folks use to integrate NAnt into VS?BenTuesday, 08 June 2004 02:23:06 UTCI had this same problem (randomly). I finally solved it. I turned off the Indexing Service and never had the issue again.Hope this helps someone. I'm not totally sure it applies here, but it sounds like the same issue I've had before.Anyway, NAnt does rock! We use it for our build process, but not for debugging applications. We haven't gotten to VS integration with it (yet!).JoelJoel RossTuesday, 08 June 2004 14:24:59 UTC
17, 2005. moondaddy Guest I keep getting the following 2 compile errors. not every time, but often after running the project, stopping it, editing some thing and then running it again. Usually i need to reboot VS and sometimes the PC to clear this issue and run it again - only to repeat the process a few times later. myTypes is one of the projects in the solution. ------------------------------------------ Could not copy temporary files to the output directory. The file 'myTypes.dll' cannot be copied to the run directory. The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process. ------------------------------------------ Any idea why this is happening and how I can resolve it? Thanks. -- am moondaddy, Sep 17, 2005 #1 Advertisements Siva M Guest You might try stopping the indexing service and try: Run "net stop cisvc" and run your project "moondaddy" <> wrote in message news:...
