Hello,
I am using Visual Basic in VS 2005 to create websites. I have a site that is not really that big, but not really small either. I use the copy feature upload the files to the website, and it is really slow. If I use CuteFTP it takes about 15 minutes. If I use the Visual Basic IDE it takes over an hour. I have a five megs a second down and 1.5 megs a second up, and both directions are really slow. I prefer to use VS so that I can see what files are changed and what files aren't, but I can't spend so much time if I make changes to a lot of files.
Is this a bug Is anyone else having this problem Are there some settings I might need to change I have only been using VS 2005 for about a month, so any help would be great.
One other thing. When I transfer a lot of files I always get a message box saying there were errors. I am not sure if this is related, or not.
Thank you for your help.

Thanks for you suggestion. We are in the process of getting VS2005 Service Pack 1 out of door for customer. The service pack has many performance enhancements.

I have logged a bug against the upload feature base on your feedback. What exactly will be done is decided by the feature team. If you want to see the internal decision, you can log a ladybug (bug by customer)

I think CuteFTP is a multithreaded FTP program. That means, it actually upload your files using multiple FTP connections to the server at the same time. VS may only use 1 thread. I will inform your suggestion to the feature team.

I experience a similar problem. Our web service is running on jboss server. We use WinInet to send HTTP request and get response. On Windows XP, it works fine. However, I got timeout error on Vista. The timeout occur when calling InternetReadFile(). I tried many times. Sometimes, It works(no time out); Sometimes does not. My Vista version is RC1 build 5600.
I am not sure this is a Vista bug or we did something wrong.

One thing I should add is that I put Visual Web Developer Express Edition on my laptop, and it is slow also, but not as slow as it is in Visual Studio 2005. I do have the express edition installed on the same machine as Visual Studio, could this cause a conflict After I posted the first post, I had problems with VS locking up, and I had to restart several times. It didn't ask me to send a report, though.
Thank you for your assistance. Multithreading would be a nice addition. Another thing that I think would be helpful is if, when switching to the copy tab, it didn't cause the application to pause for about 5 seconds while it checks the files. Maybe a button that can be pressed would be good. Sometimes I hit the wrong tab and have to wait while it works.

I use Visual Web Developer for many different sites hosted on commercial ISPs. I edit all sites in FTP mode and often find the performance extremely slow. Sometimes in just opening a small aspx page or saving one it can take up to 10 minutes. I have not issues in other programs like Homesite, but would much rather use VWD. Is this something your aware of also and are you working toward any fixes Is there anything I can do to speed up the connection
Thanks for your reply,
John
