Never-ending Visual Studio
-
Anyone ever seen the following problem and if so how do I fix it ! I have a visual studio workspace which contains all my DLL projects. For each project I have defined a post build step which just copies the DLL to my Windows directory. The problem is that sometimes the file is copied but visual studio does not think that the step has completed and sits and waits for it to complete. This prevents me from pressing 'Stop build' and carrying on working. I have to kill the instance of visual studio from task manager, re-open the workspace and build again. Any ideas why this happens ? Users. Can't live with 'em, can't kill em!

Id the DLL in the windows directory in use when the post build step is performed. I do this for my DLL projects all the time, and it only ever fails (but does not lock up) when the DLL is in use. My post build step looks like: copy debug\filename.dll ..\Executable\debug Roger Allen Sonork 100.10016 Were you different as a kid?

Sorry no real solution. But I have seen this behaviour before when trying to compile multiple projects at once. Some times its a matter of dependencies. If one project depends on anoughter then make sure it first one is compiled first. Of course once in a great while it occurs when only one project is involed and all I can do is kill the instance and restart Visual Studio. Trust in the code Luke. Yea right!
