.NET Forum / Visual Studio.NET / IDE / September 2004VC++ .Net Forms Designer Slow Load Times
We have several forms designed with VSNet's VC++ Forms Designer. Some of our simplest forms have 20 - 30 controls and will take approximately 2 minutes to load. A very complicated multi-layer form takes approximately 12 minutes to load into the designer. Sometimes it even fails to load and puts a big X in the designer. This is happening on several 2.8 GHz P4 machines with 512 MB memory and Multi-Gig hard drives. This is slowing our development down to a grinding halt. Can someone help with some suggestions or maybe a link to a knowledge base article. I have searched around and have not found any information on slow VC++ .Net forms designer load times. I used to have the same problem. When I installed a dual-processor P4 with 1 GB of RAM and SATA drives, my particular problem went away. Although management REALLY doesn't like hearing it, you CANNOT spend too much money on developer tools/platforms. I run my own company. I don't hesitate to add monitors, memory, etc. to development boxes. Programmers cost far too much to slow 'em down with trivial junk and frustration. My own development system now contains the aforementioned box and 4 20+ inch monitors. It reduces frustration and VASTLY increases my productivity.

I have exactly the same problem, I hope Microsoft solve this problem as soon as possible because it is not acceptable at all for any commercial software.
