Apr 9, 2015Importer

Summary
This post details a specific issue with Layer Validation in Visual Studio 2012 and 2013 where temporary assembly files were not being removed, leading to excessive growth of the user's temporary folder. It provides a concrete workaround by adding a post-build script to the `.modelproj` file to delete the `LmrProviderTempAssemblyFolder`. It also clarifies that this issue does not affect Visual Studio 2015.
