Re: Visual Studio Performance

I did find with VS2005 that you need dual-core and a couple of megs of
RAM to cope.  One trick I learned was to close all designer and code
windows before closing the solution.  VS2005 comes up WAY faster that
way.  One irritating habit is that if there is a designer window buried
in your stack of open windows somewhere, VS will load the toolbox when
you start up, and that can take a looong time.  Closing all windows
prevents that and gives you control much faster.

We have been fighting this for a year now.  More RAM did not help.

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
