I have built up a project in VSS 2005 via internet and VS 2005. It works great in the project I created, I can check out, modify, check in etc.
Now when I go to open a new website from source control it takes a very long time. So far 45 minutes and not open.
The project has about 1,500 files
I was getting timeouts when opening the project at first, but added:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\SourceSafe]
"Timeout"=dword:00360000
Hey as I typed it just finished. But 50 minutes seems excessive. Its only about 15MB and 1500 files. Why so long Internet connectivity is Cable and DSL on each end and fairly quick.
Open Website from Source Control takes long time

How long does it take for you to do the same operation on the same project using the same SCC plug-in (Internet) over the LAN (without cable or DSL)
What about using local access SCC plug-in over LAN
What is the time to open this SCC controlled project from disk (After you opened it from SCC restart VS and open this project from disk)

I am using the Internet plug in.
I tested again after disabling the anti virus software and results were the same.
It brings all the files over and populates my local working directory in about 5-10 minutes. But then does something in the background for another 30 or more minutes before VS comes back.

Steve, I doubt it's source control doing something bad, if the files have been already downloaded. It may be the web project refreshing the hierarchy, calculating references, or who knows what else.
To tell for sure what's happening during those 30 minutes we'd need some minidumps captured a couple of minutes apart, so we can look who's doing what in the IDE.
You can attach another VisualStudio as debugger to the VS instance in which you're opening the project, use Debug/Break when VS appears hung during those 30 inutes, then Debug/Save Dump As... and save minidump files. Let VS to continue (Debug/Continue), then after a few minutes repeat saving another dump, etc. You can open a bug at http://lab.msdn.microsoft.com/ProductFeedback/ and attach the dumps for analysis. If the Debug commands are not visible in menus, you may need to switch to VC profile (using Tools/Import and export settings)
Thanks,

Ok, this was the accepted answer, but what was the resolution. I've been fighting with this problem since I started using VS2005.
This delay happens for me on project open and on solution close. It's rediculous.

Hi Steve,
Which Sourcesafe plug-in are you using, Visual SourceSafe (for LAN access) or Visual SourceSafe (Internet) You can check through Tools | Options | Source Control | Plug-in Selection | Current source control plug-in. Visual SourceSafe (Internet) should be significantly faster over the other plug-in, so that's one thing to check. Secondly, do you have any anti-virus software running on either client or server Some anti-virus software can significantly slow down file transfer. If anti-virus software is present, try disabling (on both client and server) and see if there's any improvement. Please let me know how these work out for you.
Best Regards,
Steve
