ASP.NET MVC 5 applications really slow to build

Question

I'm getting into ASP.NET, and I'm using MVC 5 to build my applications while I follow some Pluralsight trainings. I noticed that in the video training the instructor's Visual Studio builds really fast, but in my computer, after I modify something, every time I build it usually takes from 90 to 120 seconds for the build to finish and I be able to navigate through my application on the browser.

My laptop isn't super old or slow, since it has a Core i5 with 4GB of RAM and an SSD. I've tried to set the MvcBuildViews attribute to false , but still the problem persists. I'm using Visual Studio 2015 Enterprise with Update 2.

Any ideas on what should be the problem?

Answer 2

It seems like it was a problem with Visual Studio 2015 Update 2. Once I installed Updated 3 it got way faster to build. I noticed that now the IIS Express isn't closed between builds, so now when I build my MVC projects I usually see the result on the browser in less than 20 seconds.

This is not much of an answer that will solve this problem for you. But, I specifically run into this issue with ASP.NET applications. With one of our solutions we have nearly 60 projects and that takes WAY to long to fully build and debug inside a browser from VS.

How I solved this was to point one of our servers with IIS to the folder that my presentation project builds too. This way when the web project is built I can browse my IIS website and see the changes. The downside to this is I can't actively debug in VS easily.

As far as speeding up VS to build this faster with debugging I have had no luck with my experience. From messing with symbol loads, just my code settings, VS IIS settings, but nothing has truly fixed this for me.
