When swapping between the code and form tab in certain VB projects the IDE
hangs for a short while as if it is saving something. The mouse pointer turns
into an hour glass. This happens particularly when a form has a lot of
controls on it. Is there anything I can do to stop this happening?

This is happening to us as well. When clicking on the ASPX / web form tab the
IDE will lock / freeze / hang for 10 seconds to 1 minute for apparently no
reason. This only happens in HTML mode on ASPX pages. We don't use design
mode. In our situation, the CPU does NOT get pegged to 100%.

This seems to be an issue with the HTML parser perhaps (?)

Environment:
Visual Studio 2003 Archiect
Sourcesafe
SQL 2000
Framework 1.1 sp1 v1.1.4322

To recap, sometimes it happens when we first checkout an ASPX page from
sourcesafe and load it into HTML mode, sometimes flipping from tab to tab
(going from a .vb to a .aspx).

Anyone else seen this and/or has a workaround or a fix? It is really killing
our productivity. It happens pretty regularly.

It's been happening for about a month now. I'm wondering it is related to
sp1 of the framework.
