Visual Studio表单修改的构建时间较长

Question

I am currently working on a C# Forms Application.

I noticed that every time I make changes to a form in the designer, it takes a long time to build the application.

I tried to modify code in the class itself, and this does not slow down the build.

Does anyone know what might be causing this, as its getting very irritating?

Thanks,

PM

Answer 1

Not a direct solution, I had success investigating similar issues using Sysinternal's Process Monitor to see which resources (files, registry, etc.) a process is accessing.

Maybe you can use this (free) tool to get a clue on what devenv.exe (or csc.exe or similar tools) is accessing.

You might want to go to:

"Tools " ---> "Options" ---> "Windows Forms Designer" ---> "Toolbox" node

and check the value under "AutoToolboxPopulate". I have had huge performance issues when the value is set to "True". Changing this to "False" will help, but make sure you close the solution and open it again (I would even close Visual Studio IDE and relaunch it).
