Actually the reference does exist in my web project added as project reference.....

Anybody know what is going on???

I had a similar problem with urlRewriting.dll which i use but removing the reference and adding it back again seemed to sort that...

Thanks in advance

Ian

More info, : I am using a solution with one class library (dll that causes problem), Web application project (the new one) and web deployment project.

Anybody else receive anything like this?

I also converted my VS 2005 web site project to a VS 2005 (no version change) web application project as per the tutorial online at Scott's blog.. everything went according to plan and i can run locally without building...

Thanks again

ian

And just to be complete here is the complete output of the build...  and i am using visual source safe 2005 although i don't think this should matter

argggh! I wish i had never started this now!!!

Basically on RELEASE or DEBUG builds there are 3 errors including

C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\Microsoft.Common.targets(2403,9): error MSB3021: Unable to copy file "C:\Documents and Settings\Ian.IANGREGSON\My Documents\Visual Studio 2005\Projects\iangregsondotcom\IanGregson.elBlog.Util\bin\Release\IanGregson.elBlog.Util.dll" to "bin\IanGregson.elBlog.Util.dll".

Could not find a part of the path 'C:\Documents and Settings\Ian.IANGREGSON\My Documents\Visual Studio 2005\.net Url Rewriting\Release\UrlRewritingNet.UrlRewriter.dll'.

But on a DEBUG build the problem with IanGregson.elBlog.Util.pdb and bin\IanGregson.elBlog.Util.dll go away!!! Which is not bad but who knows WHY the problem happens on RELEASE?

Anyway on both RELEASE and DEBUG this problem is always displayed :

MSBUILD : warning MSB3021: Unable to copy file "C:\Documents and Settings\Ian.IANGREGSON\My Documents\Visual Studio 2005\.net Url Rewriting\Release\UrlRewritingNet.UrlRewriter.dll" to "C:\Documents and Settings\Ian.IANGREGSON\My Documents\Visual Studio 2005\Projects\iangregsondotcom\iangregsondotcom\Bin\UrlRewritingNet.UrlRewriter.dll". Could not find a part of the path 'C:\Documents and Settings\Ian.IANGREGSON\My Documents\Visual Studio 2005\.net Url Rewriting\Release\UrlRewritingNet.UrlRewriter.dll'.

Now i see why, this path is not valid! C:\Documents and Settings\Ian.IANGREGSON\My Documents\Visual Studio 2005\.net Url Rewriting\Release\UrlRewritingNet.UrlRewriter.dll'

but why is it looking there i added it from c:\dotNet Components\.net URL writing 

Signed a very confused Ian

Ok ... found a work around for the Project based web reference... As soon as i removed it from SOURCE SAFE control.... the errors disappeared on both RELEASE and DEBUG.

Scott do we have an issue with VSS??

BUT!

This one is still present.. I don't understand why it is using "\Visual Studio 2005\.net Url Rewriting\" that directory doesn't exist and never has done. ermmmm if this a bug related to using a . (dot).... is there a work around??????? help ---- here is the only error i have now below....

MSBUILD : warning MSB3021: Unable to copy file "C:\Documents and Settings\Ian.IANGREGSON\My Documents\Visual Studio 2005\.net Url Rewriting\Release\UrlRewritingNet.UrlRewriter.dll" to "C:\Documents and Settings\Ian.IANGREGSON\My Documents\Visual Studio 2005\Projects\iangregsondotcom\iangregsondotcom\Bin\UrlRewritingNet.UrlRewriter.dll". Could not find a part of the path 'C:\Documents and Settings\Ian.IANGREGSON\My Documents\Visual Studio 2005\.net Url Rewriting\Release\UrlRewritingNet.UrlRewriter.dll'.

OK I have fixed it, this is what i did but i don't understand why!

After removing the urlrewriting dll i checked the bin directory of my webapp and there was a file left over called

Ok adding back into source control using VSS 2005... the problem comes back...  although not the urlrewriting problem.. but all the others...

So i am removing out of source control  as its a nightmare and impossible to work with....

It would be nice to be able to use source control though..

If anybody has any ideas, i would appreciated the help.

Hi,

though I've installed Web Deployment Project BETA (WDP), I've still not used it.

Issue I want to share with you is about Web Application Project (WAP) and SourceSafe 2005 (SS).

Today, I've just installed WAP 1.0; the RTM one. It was just released yesterday (8 May 2006). When I used WAP for the first time, everything just worked so fine until I was trying to use SS as my source control. In my case, I have a solution with one project. Formerly, it was a Web Site Project (WSP) and then I converted it to WAP. I can successfully build it.

I dragged and dropped the solution file and the project folder from the Windows Explorer (WE) directly to SS. Suddenly, it can NOT be built with the error message saying that unable to copy the assembly, as you have encountered.

I tried googling and then found this thread, but unfortunately with no solution nor workarounds. I thought there's a bug with WAP but still found nothing about it.

Left in confusing situation, I decided to remove it from SS; removing any SS related files including bin and obj folders. Next step, I tried to add it back to SS using Visual Studio 2005 (VS) menu. Note that this time, I didn't drag and drop it from WE.

I tried to build it and, eventually, I could build it without any problem at all.

Then, I come into the occlusion that I think it's better (and recommended) to add source files to source controls using menu provided by VS; not using drag and drop directly from WE.

So, did you have the similar experience as I did?

Hi..

Yes i used the project explorer and tried right clicking and adding to source control..

Its very strange i get the problem... i must admit ... i lost patience with it... so i decided to wait and i notice now its got a full release so i will try again..

But your problem was the same as mine.

I am glad i wasn't alone :-)

Thanks

Ian

Even i got the same problem.

What I Did: Delete Debug/Relese folder form project which is refered, and build the project again.

Or U may need to delete .pdb files in Main project reference OR bin dir. And build again... That's it...

 

Cheers!
