I am pretty much entirely C# at this point, is there a way for me to just have VA deal with C# files only. I don't need all the C++ stuff so much anymore.

Seems like it must slow they system down with all that C++ stuff?

Any suggestions?

I don't think C++ file should slow down the system. How many C++ file do you have in your project?

You could ignore C++ files altogether by adding ".c;.cpp;.h" to the "extensions to ignore editor" editbox here:
VA Options -> Projects -> File Handling -> Extensions to ignore

But like I said, I shouldn't normally slow down the system. The initial parsing time can be a bit longer with lot of cpp files though.
Let us know whether it helps.

I used the "extensions to ignore editor", if that's the answer then fine, but I would bet a lot of us have moved from C++ to C# and a single option might be a nice to have. It seems to have done what I expected.

It's not so much that I have a bunch of C++ projects, but it does go through all the Visual Studio directories.

Thanks for your prompt response.

It should "go through all the Visual Studio directories" only once per project and later it should just load the symbol databases.
Maybe, it was going to be a one-off problem.

Hmmm, I may be more sensitive to that scan, it might might create rather large data sets because I have a bunch of device SDK's installed in my environment( for CE development) , and each has it's own set of header/mfc/atl etc... files.

If you are sure you don't want VA to parse your C++ stable include headers, you can change the setting:

VA Options -> Projects -> C/C++ Directories -> Platform = Custom

and then delete all of the directories in the stable include directories list:

This should cut down on the parsing time, how much will depend on how many stable include directories you had to start with.
