Visual Studio 2008: Suspected bug in Javascript references

codeblock — Mon, 18 Feb 2008 15:44:01 GMT

I've just published an issue on Microsoft Product Feedback Center about a strange behavior I've found in the last two days. I'm working with Visual Studio 2008, developing an AJAX Enabled application that use massive javascript code. I take advantage of new Visual Studio 2008 intellisense for Javaxript that applies to files using <reference> tags but I saw that using an embedded resource javascript library cause Visual Studio 2008 to lock exclusively the resource assembly and fail during compilation with this error:

Unable to copy file "obj\Debug\ClassLibrary.dll" to "bin\Debug\ClassLibrary.dll". The process cannot access the file 'bin\Debug\ClassLibrary.dll' because it is being used by another process.

I've include a reference to a test project I've prepared to reproduce the issue, so you may download and test the example and possibly convalidate yourself the issue in the page of the feedback center.

Steps to reproduce without my test project is:

1) create a solution containing a classlibrary and a webapplication
2) create a embeddedresource.js file in the ClassLibrary and set it to Embedded Resource
3) add the WebResourceAttribute
4) create a referencing.js file in the WebApplication
5) insert a reference to the embeddedresource.js file like this: /// <reference name="ClassLibrary.embeddedjscript.js" assembly="ClassLibrary" />
6) save and close all files
7) open both javascript files
8) run the compilation with CTRL+SHIFT+B (rebuild all)
9) the error happen

Please take a moment to check my sample and please vote it on the feedback center if you get the same behavior.

Silverlight Animations are very wonderful when they run separately, but it is really difficult to make them work syncronously. The post show a little library capable to coordinate different storyboards....(read more)
