Visual studio freezes for a while....

[boomster]

Hi ,

I am using visual c++.net 2003. Every time i add code or modify code in the form.h file, when i then click on the tab for the form GUI design it takes ages to load and in this time the environment freezes for a few minutes! The more code i add to the form.h file the longer the wait becomes :mad: Does anyone know why this is and how to fix it? I have tried reinstalling VC.net several times and also tried it on a laptop but still get the same trouble.

thanks for any help,

I had that same problem, I was using vb.net. It seems that when the file gets larger vs.net takes time to parse it.

lol,

get more ram?

I have 1 gig ram, how much more should I get!!!!!

wow :) that's..a lot lol,

umm

try closing Dynamic Help over in the bottom right hand corner -

dynamic help eats away memory like crazy.. scaning every word of code you type in to help you lol; try doing that

 

try the same boomster, maybe that'll work

i have no idea what to do lol.. i mean ur using C++, and there's no form designer..

 

 

(the ocmputer with vb.net died a few months ago and i have no other good comp to use until my birthday so this is off the top of my head)

try going into the vs.net options and unchecking stuff that might take up too much memory..

 

i cant think of anything else...

 

 

edit: oh yeah also dude -

before openign up vs.net try restarting Explorer.exe

control alt delete, right click explorer.exe and hit end process tree

then go to file and type in "explorer" and hit enter..,
