Go to OPTIONS>ENVIRONMENT..under Visual Experience, untick “Use Hardware Graphics Acceleration If Available” for some weird reason your dev environment should loosen / speed straight up. Works on all or our laptops. If you have any doubt if yours is on go slow, open up some code and drag the scroll bar up and down fast and will see the slider lags massively behind. When you un-tick it…no lag!

The only way I know to improve the performance is to disable Edit & Continue option.. Tools -> Options -> Debugging -> Edit & Continue (uncheck the option) & your performance is going to be improved by 200% … Enjoy

Thanks! This worked like a charm…now finally I can be more productive with VS 2008. Personally I think VS 2008 is one of the crappiest product Microsoft ever released.

Ok my solution is very simpel.
i checked my workingspace ( the location of my projects ) and i realized that i was working on an network storage, where my folders where created.

so i began a new project on my local storage C:\project
and not \\server\project

and its working nicely.

( i know its very dumb but maybe it can help)

i also had similar slow problem

what i did was >>>
create new project and then copy all form’s content to new project though its risky and could take much time to select and copy content of old form but it worked…

and after creating and copying the form content save it to other name and delete previous project…

be careful with this stuff and create some back up before doing… if its worked then only delete older one..

i hope it work for you too……

>>>Nick Welsman

you can find the AppData by allowing Hidden files and folder to be shown..
press alt key in any window and go to Tools and go to folder option then go to view and select the 8th line of radio button..

i hope this will help you!
