    Posted: 08-Dec-2007 at 12:52pm

I have a modest CAB/DF solution with about 8 business modules.  It is taking 10-15 minutes to load the solution into the IDE.  Is this normal?  Should I expect to see increasing load times with each new control or module added?  Or, is there some basic cleanup that I need to be doing to keep the solution clean and quick-loading?

Thanks,
Bill

Our Visual Studios are not blindingly fast, but don't take 10-15 minutes.  I trust you've Googled for ideas.

Here are a few suggestions:
  • Visual Studio is a disk pig.  Be sure you've got plenty and check if you need to defrag.
  • I find that loading the toolbox for the forms designer is a significant time-burner.  If there are any designers open in the saved .suo file, this occurs at startup.  Third-party control suites can add significantly to this.
  • If it's possible, you might be able to make module-specific solutions, containing the Infrastructure, Model, AppHelper and Shell projects and only the module(s) you're working on at the moment.

That's about all I can think of right now.

Good luck.

I have done all of the typical cleanup for VS IDE performance. 
 
Regarding the comments in the other post:  A new machine is not an option.  Small views are the order of the day in the CAB world.  The UI designer is a main feature of an IDE, why would I scrap its use?  And, I am a C# guy, already.

Have you tried to make a module specific solution in the DF/CAB environment?  I think there will be a lot of hurdles to cross on that one.  I do my best to close all code/designer windows when I am done for the day.  I have plenty of disk space and am fully defraged.

Btw, other, non-CAB solutions, open in seconds.
 
Thanks for the tips,
Bill
