• Visual C# IDE taking forever to get in and out of debug mode

  I have a pretty small app written in C#.  At first - when I was building the form, IDE performance getting in and out of debug mode was fine - about the same as with VS2003.  But now - without adding too much additional code, the IDE is acting really sluggish.  I measured the time to start the app in debug mode - the time measured from when I hit F5 until the form was display was 72 seconds, and the time getween closing the app ...Show All
