When ever I make tfs build csc unexpected error creating debug information file a change in my code and try to compile I get the following error: Error 7 Unexpected error creating debug information file 'C:\Documents and Settings\jbezanson\My Documents\MyProjects\DispatchBoard\DispatchBoard\obj\Debug\DispatchBoard.PDB' -- 'C:\Documents and Settings\jbezanson\My Documents\MyProjects\DispatchBoard\DispatchBoard\obj\Debug\DispatchBoard.pdb: The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process. ' DispatchBoard Using Process Explorer, it is always devenv.exe that is locking the file. If I run in Release mode this does not happen. It started 2 days ago when unexpected error writing debug information the method or operation is not implemented I started a WPF application, and since then it happens with every application I work on. The only info I could find from Google was referring to a bug in VS 2003. Anyone else have this problem? How do I fix it? It is getting very annoying having to kill the file handle every time I want to compile. c# visual-studio-2008 share|improve this question edited Sep 25 '09 at 14:30 Donut 53.8k992126 asked Sep 25 '09 at 14:21 modernzombie 83861738 add a comment| 19 Answers 19 active oldest votes up vote 9 down vote accepted When I have problems with locked files, I use Unlocker.

Unblocker is much better than Process Explorer. –modernzombie Sep 25 '09 at 18:06 add a comment| up vote 18 down vote If you have multiple instances of VS open, close other instances (apart from the one you are trying to compile) - this may resolve the issue. share|improve this answer edited Nov 7 '12 at 17:02 CJM 7,8781
dll(s) in the /obj/ folder of library components. The fix that I have at the moment is as follows: Shut down VS.NET Browse to the project in

any other project /bin folders in the solution that is having issues. Restart VS.NET Rebuild Laugh the next time you hear that DLL Hell is no more in .NET... Update: Just http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1477582/error-creating-debug-information-code-wont-compile deleting /obj/ after closing VS.NET does it. Ambrose pointed me to prcview.exe and that demonstrated that it is in fact devenv.exe locking the file, so it's VS.NET's own fault, not Index Server or anything else that is to blame. Listening to: Disturbed - Remember 26 Comments Steven it's probably also the same problem I had few days ago. Check Index Server, and http://weblogs.asp.net/ssmith/23755 see if it's running. If you don't need it turn off the services, otherwise add some exclusion directories, the .Net temporary folders for a starter Paschall - Tuesday, August 12, 2003 2:36:00 PM The problem can be caused by virtually anything which runs in the background and is triggered by file activity. Index server is one example, also anti-virus scanners tend to do the same. I get this occasionally in VB/C# but much more often with managed C++ projects. I'm not sure why... Addy Santo - Tuesday, August 12, 2003 3:09:00 PM For the record, I am using VS.NET 2003. The one that keeps getting locked is a C# project (class library) in a solution with 4 other VB projects (3 class libs and a web). I'm wondering if the IDE real-time compiling of VB's IDE is hitting the PDF/DLL from the C# project and not cleaning them up. Using prcview, it's clear that only that one project's file are being referenced from the My Documents/Visual Studio Projects/ProjectName/obj/ folder. The rest (the other dlls and pdbs being locked/referenced by devenv.exe) are going to the

Posted on 2013-03-23 .NET Programming C# Visual Basic.NET 3 Verified Solutions 4 Comments 3,147 Views Last Modified: 2013-04-15 I made the mistake of opening the same WPF project at the same time with two instances of Visual Studio. Running the project produced the following error. (FFIMP is my project name.) Error 1 Unexpected error creating unexpected error creating debug information file 'C:\...\FFIMP.PDB' -- 'C:\..\FFIMP.pdb: The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process. It's no surprise I generated this error. The two instances of VS were fighting each other. Ever since, however, I continue to see this error despite the fact that I'm careful to open one instance of Visual Studio at a time. It's not a huge deal. I simply close Visual Studio, re-open it, and the error goes away. I'd like to, however, get rid of the error permanently.
