There is no limit per se. But in Visual Studio 2002, 2003 and VB in
2005 RTM, there were problems with the Intellisense engine locking your
compiled dlls so that you would get strange errors when you compiled.
To resolve the issue, you had to restart the IDE. Most people started
splitting the projects into multiple solutions to handle the problem,
but I created a hack based on Microsoft's detours library to prevent
Visual Studio from ever locking files.

Hi Bryan,
just one question: what was the biggest solution you worked with?

Not including the database project and the setup project. The solution
had 22 projects all of which created assemblies 800kB to 12 MB in size.

Where is this hack of yours? :)
I'm dealing with a situation where our VB.NET solution is causing very
significant IDE performance issues that we think are related to the
background compiler working overtime, but I'm interested in the solutions
others have come up with.

You can read about creating the hack here:

But I can't post my code without checking with Microsoft's IP department
first.
