Hi there,
does anyone know the cause of this problem. When I press F5
to debug a C# web application, I get an error message that begins "Cannot
create/shadow copy " then various different file names. Sometimes I can
debug, other times I get the message above.

Regards,

Steve W.

try to "Clean Solutions" before you build it.

and there is also a web.config key that might fix it

<hostingEnvironment shadowCopyBinAssemblies="false" />

Doing a Clean has no effect. I have to stop the ASP.Net Web Development
server every time it happens, which is starting to get on my nerves. I'll
try the config setting.

I get this from time to time. Clean Solution usually fixes it. It
shouldn't be a problem for you.
