I have a C# solution with three projects, lets call them P1, P2 and P3.
P2 references P1, P3 references P1 and P2.

Whenever I'm editing the P1 cs files Visual Studio hangs, processor usage is 100%, and that lasts for 30-90 seconds (I can't see the cursor, devenv status is Not Responding in the task manager). When the cursor appears I can write code until I try to move the cursor up or down. It seems that the slowdown is longer when scrolling over a large comment.

Visual studio is not localized, spell check is disabled.

When I disable the VAX everything works fine.

Do you have any other add-ins installed? If so, try disabling them "at startup" to see if you have a conflict.

Otherwise, a log file from VA X will help:

P1 project (the one that other projects reference) is usually small, 5-20 files. Other can be quite big (up to a few hundered files), but the ones that I'm currenty working on has 9 files in the P1, 15 files in P2, and 2 files in P3 (cs files, there are a few resx files...).

The thing happens every time I move the caret up or down, the hang time is different each time I press the up or down key ranging from 2 seconds to 2 minutes.

how big, approximately, are these projects? 10 files in total? 2,000 files in total?

what you describe is familiar to me, but i get it in C++, and mainly in VS2005 on large projects. for me it seems to be due to the IDE re-parsing code. however the effect is MUCH less frequent for me, perhaps 10 times a day, and not every time i try to move the caret up or down the screen.

Beta...? uh, I missed that part.
OK, I'll try to reinstall it and create a test solution where I can reproduce the behavior.

Suggestion: in the VA_X.dll file version 10.3.1524.0 built 2006.06.16
line add BETA if it is a beta build. It would clear some issues...

Have you tried the latest 14xx build ( 1446 ).

Have you tried to isolate the issue and make a small test case where you can easily reproduce the bug?

You can't expect any software to be 100% bug, free and the 15xx builds are beta software so you use with caution :)

I uninstalled the 1524 and installed 1423 and it seems it works OK now.
I just wonder why did I pay for the new version?
ivanc Posted - Jun 23 2006 : 06:20:32 AM
Anyone?
This is really furstrating! In all solutions where I have three or more projects that are referenced as I described above the same thing happens.

VAX is the only plugin installed!
