VS.Net too slows down after first debug attempt

Hey Guys,
I hope Someone can help with this issue. after running any project made with C# my IDE slows down to the point where I can not type a single word without waiting for 5 to 7 seconds between words, some times typing "this" takes 7 seconds.

I am using XP SP2 with VS.Net pro 2005 SP1
OS is 32 Bit XP and processor is 64 bit AMD.
Memory is 1.5 Gig
this is a fresh install

So far I have disabled all Macros, deleted, Recent files from registry disabled Track Changes under thhe options menu. still when I open any project I can type code fine without any problems but after I debug the project it slows down again and I have to restart VS.Net to be able to type normally.

This is using Windows Forms not webforms

Thanks

    The project is extremely small, 6 forms using an MDI layout.
    I had 180 lines of code in the form.cs file so for testting reasons I commented all code lines and only left the events without any code closed the IDE, opened it again a single line in the form load event to maximize the form then ran the debugger. after 20 seconds I stopped the debugger and had the same issue with the IDE where I couldnt type a single character without a delay.

    I ran all kind of diagnostics on the laptop and it passed every one of them. I cant see why VS.Net is slow after debugging the app.

  • SIYER

    Try closing the project and creating a new console app which simply produces "hello World" - see if that slows too.

    Thanks

    Strange, how big is the project/how long does the build take.

    You might want to try deleting all the pdb files, but if stopping and restarting fixes it then its a bit strange!

    Does this happen on all projects you work on

    I found out what was causing this. a co worker used my laptop and installed Devexpress xtraform and for some strange reason this is the only form object I have in VS.NET templates. No System.Windows.Forms.Form.
    I removed VS.Net and the framework, rebooted and re installed. Now everything runs Ok.
    I wanted to test if the Xtraform has the same effect on a desktop, sure enough after I installed their trial version of their suite. VS.Net started using 90% of the Desktop CPU.

    I cant understand how can one control cripple the OS and IDE like this

    Might want to check task manager & find out where the cpu is spinning its wheels.

    May be somewhere else.
