dll access denied

[byrd48]

I have a dll I use in a VS project and it seems at random, when I
debug, I will get an application config error (posted below) stating
that access is denied. I can debug multiple times and then out of the
blue, start getting this error. Is there a way to see if another
process has it locked?
Thanks,

Jon

I'm getting frustrated with this. I've debugged the project probably
20 times this morning, and on the 21st attempt, I'm getting access
denied errors for the reference dll in the project.
Is asp.net not releasing it after debugging? Any idea how I can find
out what process has it locked and stop it?
Thanks in advance.

I've had the same thing, works for a while then stops. This happens to me
when I create a reference to a dll in the \bin folder of my project.

If you're referencing directly in \bin, try this:
1. move it to the root application folder.
2. include it in the project (so is shows up in solution explorer).
3. in the properties of the file change the build action so it will be
copied to the \bin folder automatically.
