Changing a control name takes up to 20 seconds

Hi

I have a vb.net solution with 8 projects in ( 7 dlls and 1 exe )

When designing forms in the exe, if I change a control name ( in the properties window ) on any control, be it label, combo box or whatever, I get the hourglass for upto 20 seconds before I can do anything else

As you can imagine, this is seriously hampering productivity.

I'm working on a athlon 64 laptop with 1.5 gigs of ram

Is this a known issue or is there any workaround

Many thanks

Mark

    As Ken pointed out, we addressed some performance problems with the "Symbolic Rename" feature of VS2005. Take a look at the following KB Article for a complete description and instructions on how to obtain the patch:

    http://support.microsoft.com/ kbid=917452

    Do note that the improvements are only for non-web projects. The improvements for web projects should be available with the SP.

    Hope this helps,

    There is a hotfix for some performance issues with visual studio 2005. Check out this thread for more information on how to get it.
