I have noticed that VS.NET sometimes locks assemblies after building them. I have had problems where a build fails because the assembly could not be deleted (as in a clean operation). I don't see this problem if I'm using the command line (i.e. devenv.com). Don't know that this VS.NET behavior is related but it may help you get some insight into your problem.

Occasionally, the deploy fails with a "Cannot Copy '<file>'. Access to the path '<file>' is denied". where <file> is some assembly that needs to be replaced. If I run the deploy again, it will usually work (occasionallt not, but persistance pays off and it will eventually deploy). Now I presume this is something to do with the IIS thread accessing the assembly at the same time that I want to overwrite it. I do not want to set failonerror="false" as I do actually want to replace the files. The same error can happen if I try to delete the remote files before deploying. Is this a "feature" of the so-called MS .Net XCopy deploy functionality? Is there anything that I can do to ensure that the delete and copy will actually work, as this error is not really making life easy for a hands-off build and deploy Cheers Pete ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: IBM Linux Tutorials Free Linux tutorial presented by Daniel Robbins, President and CEO of GenToo technologies.
