Andy,

I have not seen any noticeable speed hit in the forms designer, but
admittedly I do not have any large forms with lots of controls. In the code
window (VB) I have seen an extremely slight slow down on my main tower (P4
2.2 dual core, 2GB Ram, Vista Ultimate), although it is not enough to worry
about. My laptop (Pm 1.4, 1GB Ram, Vista Ultimate) was slow in VS2005, and
is now even slower. This is especially noticeable in one solution that has 2
large libraries, 8 services, and a couple of apps. I notice it most with the
newer IntelliSense, and background compilation.

Most everything else seems to be about the same, although I have not had a
chance to really work with C# yet,

HTH,
Rob

Subject: [DOTNET-WINFORMS] Visual Studio Performance

When moving from VS 2003 to VS 2005, I found that the performance of the
development environment got worse, particularly when using the Windows Forms
and designer.

Does anyone out there have a sense yet of whether VS 2008 makes this better
or worse?

Thanks,

Andy
