Build problem with C++/CLI dll.

I'm working on a VS 2005 solution which includes a project with WPF/
C# for UI work, and several projects with C++/CLI for business
logic.

I often ran into a problem where C++/CLI dlls cannot be built because
IDE has these dlls loaded.

I believe IDE has to access to these dlls while I'm working on WPF/C#
because it has to know the types defined in the dlls.

Well, I work on WPF/C# and C++/CLI projects on paralell, and being
unable to built C++/CLI dlls after I work on WPF/C# code is getting
really troublesome.

I wonder if anyone can suggest any solution.

Anyway to tell the IDE to unload the assembly dlls?


Thanks in advance,

Kei

Sadly, no. Usually even closing the solution is not sufficient - you have
to completely recycle the devenv.exe process.

If you have a reproducible scenario, please open a bug report against VS2005
on Connect - http://connect.microsoft.com/VisualStudio/feedback.

VS2002/3 were riddled with "file locked by another process" bugs, many of
which were fixed in 2005, but it sounds like not quite all of them yet!
