Warning   8   Could not copy "C:\AdvancedHMIBetaV369\AdvancedHMIDrivers\bin\Debug\AdvancedHMIDrivers.dll"
to "bin\Debug\AdvancedHMIDrivers.dll". Beginning retry 8 in 1000ms. The process cannot access the file
 'bin\Debug\AdvancedHMIDrivers.dll' because it is being used by another process.   AdvancedHMI

Whats up?
There is no proces that use that .dll. No previous version of AdvHMI  running.
Why?

Exit Visual Studio and re-open. That will release the file.

OK, Thanks
I did restart computer. Same result.
So next time just restart VS?
KariM
Feels funny to restart VS after every editing. And stil no help!
Only restart computer helps.

When you run the app within Visual Studio be sure not to close the app by using the Stop button in VS. When doing that, the background threads are not shut down properly.

If not to use the Stop button in VS, what is the proper way to stop the app?

[Archie]

If you still have a border on your form, then use the X. If not, then add a button to the form, double click, then enter Close()

One trick I use for deployed apps with no form border is to setup an event to handle the AdvancedHMI logo being double clicked.

    Private Sub PictureBox1_DoubleClick(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles PictureBox1.DoubleClick
        Close()
    End Sub

Hi Archie
Vacations over.
And thank you answering. I found with task manager (in XP) that ADVHMI was still running.
My next question would have been same that AabeckControls asked, and answer is good for my purpose.
