Hi,

noticed sometime ago that I wasn't able to update other dlls in the same folder where the type converter dll is located until I close the designer. Probably it just tries to load everything assuming it might be a converter dll and just keeps the handle(s) open

Thank you!

Reproduced. As long as the Designer is loaded with the project having the target folder in the setting as the TypeConverter folder.

that's correct, it does a reflection probe on all dlls and types in the folder. We have a workitem which describes a mechanism to copy the files first to a temp folder and then do the reflection/loading part, the current designer doesn't do that, indeed. you have to close the designer to update the files.

No problem The first time I ran into that closed VS, Total Commander, LinqPad etc.
