In Visual Studio, when I type the following for a try-catch block, the IDE
freezes for quite some time before showing the Intellisense dropdown.

try
{
}
catch(E<freeze>

This happens every time, even if I close the Intellisense dropdown and press
Ctrl+Space to get it back, it'll hang, again. And this isn't a general
Intellisense problem, because it's nearly instant in every other case. The
try-catch Exception is the only time I have any problems.

Has anyone else had this problem, or is it just me? Any ideas what's going
on?

My co-worker just answered the first why. We developing for Dynamics GP, so
we are using the Dexterity Dynamics libraries, which are huge. If we use an
alias for them like this:

using DD = Microsoft.Dexterity.Applications.DynamicsDictionary;

the Intellisense is a lot faster for the Exception declaration. The next
question is why is it slow for the Exception declaration, but not the rest of
the time?
