Visual Studio 2008 freeze after save
- by Klay
I recently added about a dozen classes from another solution into my current solution in Visual Studio. After adding these classes, Visual Studio started freezing for about 10 seconds whenever I Save. The cursor disappears and mouse clicks and keys do nothing.
Some interesting points:
Even after I removed the classes, the freezing behavior is still there.
Freezing occurs whether I've made changes to the code or not.
This behavior ONLY seems to affect this particular version of this solution. No other solutions exhibit this behavior. Older versions of this solution are not affected.
In Sysinternals Process Explorer, whenever I save in Visual Studio, the I/O bytes graph jumps from 0 to 2MB for about 5 seconds, then drops to about 1 MB for a split second, then jumps back to 2MB for another 5 seconds. Processor use goes up to about 3-5% during this time.
Here are the details of my setup:
C# Silverlight project (maybe 20 classes), .NET version 3.5 SP1, Visual Studio 2008 v9.0.30729 SP1.
EDIT:
I edited this question extensively to reflect the more detailed information. I thought this might be preferable to starting a new question.
