Visual Studio holds a lock on closed .eap files?

[stephenbell]

This could be user error, but it appears VS2005 is holding a lock on the .eap file after editing the file and closing it using the VS2005 EA plugin/extension.

EA.exe is still running in the background after I close it down which prevents me from Checking In this .eap file.  The only way to remove the lock is to kill the EA.exe process, or close VS2005 and reopen it.  

Anyone else experiencing this? Once again, this could be user error on my part  

Thanks in advance!

Whenever VS2005 is running with the EA addin, EA will be running in the background.  (At the very least as long as there is an attached model in the solution.)

It's not normal practice to check an eap file into version control.

Check out the version control whitepaper from http://www.sparxsystems.com/resources/whitepapers/ to see how version control is normally used with EA.

Well, I believe version control is already setup for the team system server i'm connected to with VS2005.  The problem is VS2005 and the EA addin are holding a lock on the file once I save and close EA.  That is preventing me from checking the file back in because the file is still "in use".

So, I'm Checking the file out for edit > make my edits > close EA > attempt to check file back in and errors are given stating the file is still in use.  

Hope that clarifies the problem..
