this problem
the error is self explanatory
C# works with projects. you have a project that ends in a
.csproj extension. when you "build" the project the result of the build gets put in the build output folder (for which the default is bin\... and obj\...). When you run the code in Visual Studio it has to build the code first before it can run it. Visual Studio is trying to build your code, but it cannot copy the result of the build to the build output directory because the files are in use
so you need to kill whatever process is running that is preventing Visual Studio from modifying those files. The most likely occurrence of this is that you have the app running in the background
there are easy ways to find what process is using what files... but for beginners the easiest solution is generally to restart your PC
that will release all file locks you currently haveUnknown User•2y ago
