Answer 1

Are you working with Visual Studio? This is a known bug, an update was released yesterday to fix it.

You can see the release notes here.

Which say:

Compilation fails because process cannot access dll (after VS2017 update 2 (v15.2))

Although I now see that the error message is slightly different. You can also try this:

• Close VS (or whatever)
• Go to your code on the filesystem
• Delete all the bin and obj folders in each of the project folders

Now open up your IDE again and try to rebuild.

Answer 2

Just delete your bin folder in your project it will work
