Visual Studio Is Busy
I am having real problems with visual studio. Even though I have an incredibly fast machine building the software can take up to 10 minutes. I am spending literally half a day (not all in one go obviously) waiting for my Visual Studio.
My machine is Win XP 64 (Dell Precision 690) with 8GB RAM and a Quad core processor.
I have been scouring the net trying to find a solution and none of them seem to work.
NVidia desktop manager is enabled
A few people suggest iisreset but the WCF Web services are running fine.
I have switched on the optimizePDB setting but no difference
I have split up my solution in to three separate smaller solutions
Client
Class Libraries
Server
The Class Library and Server solutions build just fine.
The front end solution is the one having problems.
This contains 1 Project with 50 or so Forms
1 BusinessTier (Apart from a bit of security, cacheing and MVC type stuff this mostly passes messages on to the web service)
1 Library of Reports
Forms are built using a custom control library that doesnt do much more than inherit from existing controls (either MS or Devexpress)
Does anybody have any ideas. On £4000 worth of desktop nothing should take this long. Whilst building CPU usage is almost nothing and I still have around 6 GB of RAM Free
Please help!!!
