When I try to change a control's ID in Design view of an asp.net page, I get the following error:

"The directory name is invalid."

The following appears in my output window:

Compiling project 'C:\Documents and Settings\tothad\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\WebsiteCache\EMI\Refactor\1_App_Code.dll' for refactoring
error CS0006: Metadata file 'C:\Documents and Settings\tothad\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\WebsiteCache\EMI\Refactor\1_App_Code.dll' could not be found

This is on a project that I've opened from VSS using the Open > Website > Source Control option.

This appears to be related to an issue that we had with having multiple instances of the IDE open at the same time.
