Build error "The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process" in WP7? - visual-studio-2010

I guess we can add this question to the list. Basically It's been taking me twice the time to try something out because everytime I try to debug my app I have to wait about a minute to lauch the app. There are 3 files in order that it complains about.
Resources file (.g)
Program Debug Database
DLL (.dll)
I tried removing the first two, but then it complains about the DLL file. Strangely enough I have never encountered this and I've been using the the WP7 emulator in VS2010 for about a year. Any ideas? Is there possibly a setting or cache that can be deactivated?

Basically when you add images to your project, by default they are added as a resource. By doing this everytime you try to build the project the images are saved in the dll file thus the long wait time. I set 95% of my images to content and have not had the issue since.

VisualStudio2015 debug issue

i have a solution
it has 2 projects inside.
there are an exe and a website.
the issue occurred when clicking F5 to start the debug process.
when i have set the exe to the default StartUp project. The exe can run normally, and the break point can be reached correctly.
however, when i have set the website to the defualt StartUp project. The website can be launched, however the breakpoint cannot reach. also the version isn't the latest one, it looks like it is loading the last succeed version (no error and warning too)
I have to right click the website project and click start new instance in the Debug every time I have modified something!(which is very troublesome)
Thus, I want to know why my F5 isn't equal to the Start new instance, as it is working normally in the other solutions.
I fixed that but the below procedures after struggled from extra many clicks compiling experience.
the cause is that there is unknown reason that the build checkbox isn't checked in the configuration manager. simply check it and everything looks fine again...
hopefully it can save someone time who suffered from this issue in the future

Debug second console application triggered by first console app in same solution

I have two console application projects in a single solution and they are both configured to build to a common directory. The first app calls the second app via
Process proc = new Process();
proc.StartInfo.FileName = "myprocess.exe";
I can change my startup project and debug either one of them individually just fine, but I'm unable to step into the second project from the first project. When I look in build\debug I see the .pdb files for both apps and I know the second app is running completely through its routines. I just can't step into it. I've looked at Attach to Process and Debug:Location but haven't been able to find a solution yet. I've even tried putting them in different VS solutions, but to no avail.
So I need a way to step from the first project into the second project while debugging. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thank you.
You can use
Debugger.Launch();
which will bring up the dialog asking if you want to attach a debugger. You won't be able to 'step in' from the existing debugging session since it's attached to a different process.

Unable to process application Info.plist validation at this time due to a general / IO error [duplicate]

I am creating a newsstand application. the application is ready, now i am trying to upload the app in apple store using Application Loader. While uploading the zip file its showing the error message as
Unable to process application info.plist validation at this time due to a general error (1095)
I googled this in the net, but did not find the solution still.
This is clearly an Apple server issue, not an Xcode/iOS/OSX issue. Just wait patiently and Apple's servers will catch up to the traffic, or solve whatever issues they're having at their end.
If you're anxious, feel free to just sit there and restart Xcode until it works - but it's not restarting Xcode, only the time you waste that's solving the issue.
While you're waiting, run your apps in Instruments and solve some performance issues ;)
I just had this error. I waited an hour and tried again with the exact same build and it was all good. Vote for it being Apple's temporary glitch.
I had the same problem. I closed Xcode, restart my computer and it worked.
One possible problem to this is corrupted png files. The png files should not be interlaced
I found a solution to the problem.
If you're using Xcode 4+, you don't have to use Application Loader anymore. Instead you should archive your project in Xcode (Product->Archive). It will then open the organizer, where 3 buttons are displayed. Hit the submit button.
If you've created an entry for your app with Itunes Connect, you should be able to choose that from the list, and then select your distribution profile. Then hit the next button, and you should get a message, that tells you, that your app has been submitted.
At least that worked for me.
Use Application Loader.
I'm getting this a lot today.
Application Loader worked.
XCode > Project > Archive
XCode > Organizer > Distribute > Enterprise/add Hoc > Save As
Saves as YOURAPP.ipa.
Make sure Save for Enterprise Deploy remains UNCHECKED.
Download latest Application Loader.
tap 'Deliver Your App'
make sure new version in itunes connect in WAITING FOR UPLOAD state
Click on Activity... button
TIP: open Console.app to see XCode Validation errors
Click on ALL MESSAGE on list of logs on right.
Then in search enter 'XCode' or 'Application Loader'
to monitor any errors with your upload.
Note:
I did all this and still got email about missing 120x120 icons.
Forgot to update them in Build Target > General Tab
List of new icon requirements for iOS7
http://www.icenium.com/resources/forums/icenium-general-discussion/missing-recommended-icon-file
Another reason why this can happen is the duplicate product name. Despite your app names, executable names, display names or bundle IDs are different, if the product name exists in your current apps this error is gonna occur.
"The server returned an invalid response. This may indicate that a network proxy is interfering with communication, or that Apple servers are having issues. Please try your request again later.""
Reset The internet connection.
Reopen the xcode.
Set the profile again.
Clean build.
And Archive the build.
Works perfect for me (With in 5 minutes no need to wait).
Thanks
It's just the time, because you can't control Apple's Server's traffic problem, We all merely become the victim of that..So cut the long story short...
By restarting XCODE may work but everyone as in my case, i tried by restarting XCODE, SYSTEM, ROUTER and anything and everything possible, only error name had changed from "The network connection was lost" to "The request timed out" and vice Versa..!
Just think at what time less people would be accessing the sever...
PS: Only perseverance can help you in this way..keep redialing..And WAIT and WATCH:P
I solved ... :)
Please remove all your icons and splash image also remove icon Files and icons File( IOS 5 ) from info.plist and then add all your icons to app bundle ...
After this update info.plist iconFiles field add desired name of icons....
And last but not least remove Provisioning profile from developer portal and recreate it ...
Clean your build and Archive it and using Application Loader submit it to AppStore ...
it work for me and i think it may help you...
Not every time not it is Apple server issue,sometime we did some bad linking according to me :)

VS2008 Website Application Project, Long Wait to see page after build

Just started a new Web Site Application project, and just find it takes to long to open my webpage straight I build it. This is a brand new project which has just the minimum number of files, but there is other files in the folder which are not part of the project which are not included in my project.
Anyway I press build, build complete, try open the webpage i.e. http://unitedcms/default.aspx.
Need to wait like 1 min before it loads, after that initial load it loads instantly ofcourse im just wondering why that initial load takes so long ?
The reason for this is that IIS/Cassini compiles your project after every build. This compilation takes time to complete. Once compiled, IIS/Cassini stores them in cache. On subsequent requests, IIS/Cassini will not recompile the code but serve it from the cache.
That's the reason your first request is always slow.
Here is an example. Using notepad, edit your web.config file (just add an empty line or space). Save it. And then try to open your site again. It will take time to load. That's because IIS checks your web.config file's last modified time stamp and if it's newer than the one in cache, it will re-compile the code.
Hope this helps.

Another knack on the "Dialogs must be user-initiated" Security Exception in Silverlight printing

I get the infamous "Dialogs must be user-initiated" Security Exception when I try to print some stuff in Silverlight. As you can see, the dialog is as user-initiated as can be:
John Papa couldn't help me much out neither, because I don't have any breakpoint set. Mr MSDN thinks it could also be that I'm just taking too long, but this is a demo application just as simple as can be.
Any ideas? I guess it's a Visual Studio quirk, maybe some extensions interfering, as things seems to work when I launch the application outside of it. I first thought maybe the Code Contracts are interfering with their IL weaving, but they are deactivated for this project.
Update: This is just a simple Silverlight application that runs locally from the file system. When I do "Start debugging", Visual Studio creates a hosting HTML file containing the Silverlight app in the Debug resp. Release folder of the project, launches the Internet Explorer with that HTML file and attaches the debugger to it.
Update 2: I also get the same error when I create a web project to host the Silverlight app and create a virtual directory for it on IIS.
I might also want to add that I don't have problems with printing in other Silverlight projects regardless of their hosting scenarios.
Update 3: I downloaded FireFox and it works, I don't get the error when I debug with it. So it seems to have to do with my IE8. I uploaded the solution:
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/10401470/Code/Demos/PrintingDemo.zip
I wonder if anyone can reproduce?
Anyone got an idea to which team I should file a bug report? Silverlight team? IE team? VS Debugger team?
I'm able to reproduce this. You have handled the Click twice, once in XAML another time in code. See your MainPage.xaml
<Button x:Name="PrintButton"
Content="Gotta print 'em!" Margin="8"
Click="PrintButton_Click" />
Don't feel bad about it. I did it last time through a misplaced Print inside a loop.
I've also experienced this strange behaviour. A standard button click event immediately invoking an OpenFileDialog. It would frequently generate the same error when being debugged but would eventually be coaxed in to working when the button is clicked several times.
However when built as a release (or perhaps simply by running the same Xap without a debugger attached to the browser) the problem would go away.
Try to remove
if(SightPaleceListBox.Items.Count > 0)
I had the same problem and found out that the reason was this following line:
cnvsMain.Children.Remove(PrintPagePlaceHolder);
cnvMain is on the page that the user pushed the Print button on (I was trying to remove it from that page in order to add it to the canvas that I was going to print).
My tip: try to comment rows one by one, until you find what row causes the problem. Than try to work around it.
