Samples not compiling!

[Kristoffer]

I just installed RadControls for Windows Phone 8 and then compiled and ran the samples. It worked once, but since then Visual Studio 2012 gives me the following errors:

Error 11 Could not copy "obj\Debug\Telerik.QSF.WP.dll" to "Bin\Debug\Telerik.QSF.WP.dll". Exceeded retry count of 10. Failed. QSF_WP
Error 12 Unable to copy file "obj\Debug\Telerik.QSF.WP.dll" to "Bin\Debug\Telerik.QSF.WP.dll". The process cannot access the file 'Bin\Debug\Telerik.QSF.WP.dll' because it is being used by another process. QSF_WP
Error 23 Could not copy "obj\Debug\Telerik.Examples.WP.dll" to "Bin\Debug\Telerik.Examples.WP.dll". Exceeded retry count of 10. Failed. Examples_WP
Error 24 Unable to copy file "obj\Debug\Telerik.Examples.WP.dll" to "Bin\Debug\Telerik.Examples.WP.dll". The process cannot access the file 'Bin\Debug\Telerik.Examples.WP.dll' because it is being used by another process. Examples_WP


Running Windows 8 64-bit and Visual Studio 2012. I've restarted the computer multiple times and also tried running Visual Studio elevated. Still the same error...

Seems that a process (active debug session( is still accessing the files. Please check if every emulator is closed and every VS2012 is NOT in debug mode (in VS2012 you keep in debug mode until you explicit stop it / even if you exited your app).

[Kristoffer]

Thanks for the advice. However, I still don't understand how this error can persist between reboots.

[Michael]

I run into this problem on a regular basis. Exiting from all instances of VS and all emulator instances does not fix the problem. Neither does restarting the computer nor does running the repair utility from the Telerik control panel. The only thing that I've found that can fix the problem is to uninstall the Telerik WP8 tools and re install them. That, as you can imagine is a real pain.

Update: Uninstalling and reinstalling no longer fixes the problem. Neither does manually deleting the errant .dll files fix the problem.

The demo app is now dead in the water, with no way to run it.

Unfortunately, this issue makes the library unusable. So I stopped using it until further notice. Will buy the package once this is fixed, no doubt.

Telerik, I missed your promotion due to this. I believe you should fix the problem and then extend your November discount.

Thanks.

Hi all,

Having these issues with VS2012 should not stop you from using the libraries. You can still browse the sample code of the examples application and you can still use the binaries in your apps.

This problem is not related to the Examples solution - it is a common problem with using VS when referencing multiple projects and binaries from a single location.

If you are having persistent problems you can try to copy the Examples solution folder in another folder (c:\work for example) and try to run the solution from there. Please give it a try and let us know how it goes.

Hi,

Well, it does stop me from using the library. Very often you need to quickly determine if UI control X is the right control to solve a particular UI problem. For this I browse your samples, choose the right UI control and then start integrating it with my own app. Doing it the other way around is a waste of time.

If I reboot my machine and then run VS as administrator, I really don't see how this problem can occur. If it's a VS issue, then I believe Microsoft should urgently fix this. Still, I have only seen this when compiling your Example solution. You haven't seen this error?

[Michael]

It can't be that common because I've only ever seen this behaviour with this particular demo app. Per your suggestion, I will try moving the demo apps to a different folder.

I am by the way, using a paid subscription acquired through Telerik's developer partnership with Nokia.

OK Michael - please let us know how it goes. You can also download and install the examples solution from the marketplace directly on your phone. Here is the link for your convenience - http://www.windowsphone.com/en-us/store/app/telerik-examples/fd55f526-d6f7-df11-9264-00237de2db9e 

 

All the best,

Thanks Kristofer.

I have tried creating a new folder and copying all of the content of the demo folder into the new folder, deleted the original and then ran the demo from the new folder. It seems to work without issue. While this does work, it is not really an acceptable solution. I certainly don't have to do this with any other project I create in VS.

Thanks for the link to the example app in the Windows store. I had actually already installed it. I do find it useful, but to understand what is actually going on, there is no substitute for running a demo app and tracing through it using the debugger.

It must solve the problem https://go4answers.webhost4life.com/Example/unable-copy-objdebug-bindebug-26958.aspx

[Bryan]

Wiping the obj and bin folders resolved the issue for me.

[Jini]

Even i still don't get how this error is existing.

[Vitalii]

Confirmed, the problem is still there. Using the latest Demos - RadControls for Windows Phone 8 Q2 2013.

[Ivo]

Hello Vitalii,
Could you, please describe what errors did you get when tried to compile the samples?

Hi, Ivo

Thanks for answer, i had already found a solution for the problem.
After updating to the latest version, i found a problem with WP7, and later i found that its necessary to force Nuget to download BLC.
