Ошибка unable to copy the file

I am working on asp.net 3.5 project on remote machine. I am accessing it using remote desktop. When I build the project, I get error:

Error   62  Unable to copy file "objDebugmyprojname.pdb" to "binmyprojname.pdb". Access to the path 'binmyprojname.pdb' is denied.

Project is under SVN. I deleted the objDebugmyprojname.pdb and tried to run again but getting same error. I am trying to remove thereadonly from the folder but after clicking ok, It becomes readonly again ( i guess because of SVN).

I solved this problem by deleting the contentious files from bin folder and rebuilding the project.

I solved it by Unchecking the Read-only CheckBox option on folder setting.

For me, my issue was that my AntiVirus had a handle on the referenced .dll that was used in my solution. Not exactly sure why, plan on researching it later. But killing my AV Service that had the handle, then restarting Visual Studio fixed this issue for me.

Hope this helps those of you who are maybe having to restart your entire PC when this happens, as before I figured this out, it was the only fix to my solution as well.

I had this issue with WebActivator.dll

Closing VS and reopening resolved the issue for me

Just found this, which worked for me:

Make sure bin isn’t checked in to TFS.

After trying all the options below, the only solution was to restart the Windows 7.

• Removed read only flag.
• Restart the visual studio.
• Remove the corresponding reference(.dll file) from the References and add it back
• Make sure bin isn’t checked in to TFS
• Deleting the contentious files from bin folder

If you only get this for select files:

1. Go to Published file folder
2. Select the problem Files
3. Properties
4. Uncheck Read-Only

Apparently this can occur when Source Control non-checked out files are read only, and then someone just copies specific files.

(I tried other people’s suggestions: giving myself write access to wwwroot, running VS as admin, but for me it was the read-only that did the trick. I specify this answer to point out it is the files at the destination you are trying to publish to.)

the error is pretty obvious there
Access to the path ‘binmyprojname.pdb’ is denied.
the user the web console process is running under (not the user you created in the webconsole, the actual windows user), most likely «Network Service» doesnt have permissions to that folder.

You can either
— Right click on that folder, goto permissions and add the «Network Service» user
— Right click on that folder, goto permissions and add the «Everyone» user

that should fix that problem.

You might be opened two visual studios for two different solutions. Vs-A is in Debug mode and VsB is erroring out about .pdb file access denied. So remove the debug mode from Vs-A and Rebuild Vs-B. It should work now, without errors.

Good Luck.

Suprisingly, using

Thread.Sleep(1000); 

was the reason the project failed to compile for me with the same error message. Converting to

Task.Delay(1000).Wait();

solved it.

Tip for VS noobs like me: Check you’re looking at the right /bin folder.

Details: To me, «Failed to copy from SomeDependancy/bin/Debug to /bin» sounds like it means the destination is SomeDependancy/bin. But in my application it meant MainProject/bin. I cottoned on to the idea when I discovered I could build the dependencies and only MainProject was failing. I haven’t completed testing yet, but it looks like the suggestion about recreating the folder might now work for me.
