MS Developer Studio: "Cannot save file. The file may be in use by another application."

Devs,

It has been a long Saturday of coding and I’m getting REALLY sick of the
above error. I have Pentium IV 1.3 GHz system. I’m using Microsoft
DevStudio projects in the IDE which call a batch file to do the actual
build. About every third time I go to build after an edit, rather than save
the file and build, the file is not saved and a dialog box saying “Cannot
save file. The file may be in use by another application” pops up. I have
to clear the dialog, then start the compile again. It always works the
second time.

I don’t recall this problem on my previous, much slower system. I assume it
is a problem with a fast CPU and a poorly coded, multi-threaded DevStudio
application. Or is this another of these things that Microsoft is doing to
me for my own good?

Anyone know what is up with this “feature?” Anything I can do to avoid it
besides becoming a hairdresser?

Are you running Windows 2000? Do you have a virus-checking program
running in the background?

That may be the case…

msdev does this sometimes if it is scanning the file for the auto-comletion
stuff (whatever the marketing term is) and tools like visal assist
(http://www.wholetomato.com) do it for similar reasons.

its not a big deal as next time round the file has been closed. you could
turn off some of the smarts in msdev :slight_smile:

Yes and Yes. I’ll try disabling background scanning and see if that clears
it up. So the file may actually be open, by the virus scanner, I suppose…

Thanks!

Yes, exactly. That was the cause for me, at least.
