Replacing .NET project file guids after an 'xcopy'   Message List  
Reply | Forward Message #37596 of 59870 |
When not using project references...

Hi,

When using a common output folder, instead of using project
references, there is a known Microsoft "file locking" bug:

http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?kbid=313512

If your DLL is bigger than 64 KB, you have to bring down VS and
delete the file manually in order to build. Every time.

This bug has been known for at least a year. Does anyone at
Microsoft care about this and is it being worked on? Is it already
fixed somewhere but not announced? Can anyone suggest work-arounds?

Thanks,
Mike

... The "fix" is going to be to upgrade to VS2005. As for workarounds, perhaps someone knows of one, but I don't. I gave up fighting it and stopped building to...

Thanks Craig. I'm curious why they never fixed that, one would think it would be trivial. Project references just don't make sense on big projects. I guess...

BTW, I solved the problem easily by refactoring some code out into another DLL. It was a neutral refactoring, made some logical sense, but at the same time...

I wonder if there is a Win32 hack to forcable remove file locks? That might be a quick-n-dirty fix. Maybe reference your dll's via the network redirector and ...
