    How do you clear temporary files in an ASP.NET website project?

    I have been building and rebuilding an ASP.NET program.

    I made the horrible mistake, I think, of recently copying the published content back to the folder I was developing.

    So now I have an unusual error when I build the code. It says That there is a duplicate definition in one file in a temporary directory with anohter file in a temporary directory.

    Error 3 The type 'ChildEventHandler' exists in both 'c:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319\Temporary ASP.NET Files...\b90cc7a4\28d266b\assembly\dl3\c4cf1ea3\b6e4b808_ef7cce01\App_Code.DLL' and 'c:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319\Temporary ASP.NET Files...\b90cc7a4\28d266b\App_Code.asx5jp5d.dll' C:\inetpub\wwwroot...\Resources\usercontrols....ascx.cs 11 18 C:......\

    I removed project and file names, of course, but this is basically what the error says.

    Since the error is with temporary files, what should I do?

    I do not see a "clear" option in visual studio to clear out the files of a compile.

    Have you tried to manually delete all files in ''c:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319\Temporary ASP.NET Files\'?

    Plese note that if do this operation in a production server, each first user that visits a page will experience a short delay in receiving the page since the server has to re-created all files it needs.

    Hi

    When you add new DLLs to the bin folder, they should immediately overwrite the files in the ASP.NET temp folders. I have myself noticed that sometimes (I assume that happend becuase of concurrency issues) the dlls are not loaded into memory.

    If you have access to IIS management console, you could recycle the worker process. That should ensure that new temp assemblies are loaded.

    Also if you change aspx oder ascx files, the resulting assemblies should be automatically replaced in the temp folder.
