   I had the same problem. I was creating my first custom control, had
it in the same solution as the main project in which I wanted to use
the custom control. The first compile would be fine. The second one
would throw a compile error with the "Could Not Copy Temporary Files
to the Output Directory" message as the error.
   It's clumsy, but I simply made two separate solutions. I still
compile the custom control into the main project \bin directory, but i
now have no locking problem.
   It's annoying, but it's made simpler by being able to toggle back
and forth quickly between projects with the "File-Recent Projects"
menu item.
   Hey, if anyone has a better solution that works, please tell me!
I'm a relative .Net newbie, so I'm sure there is/will be a better
solution. But for anyone who's absolutely hung up on this problem, my
solution works, even if it slows you down somewhat in your work.
