      Do you have a source control app installed? At my last job, the IDE would hang regularly while the VSS plugin waited for the network to time out talked to the VSS server. --Mike-- Visual C++ MVP :cool: LINKS~! Ericahist | NEW!! PimpFish | CP SearchBar v3.0 | C++ Forum FAQ

            I had a solution with 98 projects (ASP.Net, C#)(yes 98!!) and it worked like a charm, but now the new project I am working on has 19 projects (ASP.Net VB.Net)in a solution and every time I build the solution the IDE closes abruptly midway of the build. The IDE dosent give me any warning message whatsoever, just disappears from the screen.. POOF!!!.. it happens on all 8 machines I tried on. Even checked the event viewer log for any info but nope, no trace of anything there!! totally clueless:confused::sigh: :((

                Only slightly more so than the 80 project solutions I routinely encounter. :rolleyes: One of our customers wrote to us yesterday to tell of a us a solution he's working on (which is presumably around that sort of size) which has over 400,000 lint issues reported. Believe it or not, that seems to be not at all unusual for a codebase of that size which has not been through analysis before. Having played "hunt the lint warning" all too many times I'm rather used to it now though it can be pretty scary the first time you encounter something on that scale...

                    we have just reached 87 projects (nearly all C++) in our solution, and have been seeing VS2003 just pause for years. if you are at "sometimes daily" then you are doing quite well, we were several times a day, for up to a minute or two. my personal theory was that the IDE was off thinking about intellisense, or some such. we have just (about a week ago) moved over to VS2005, and until i killed the IDE's intellisense it was a lot worse. several times a day it would go and rebuild intellisense. at least it told me what was happening, but it still killed my workstation in the process. as for the question of why there are so many projects, nearly every project makes a dll, one "product" per dll. this way if the product is not ready, we don't ship the dll. zen is the art of being at one with the two'ness

                      Our VS performance problems were mainly caused by Norton Anti-virus coporate edition which was set to scan network drives. coupled with sourcesafe which is file intensive this caused really bad performance. Unchecking the scan network option in the virus scanner did the job. Although, I suspect that with so many projects in one solution you are always going to suffer... Resharper doesn't help with loading speed, but then it really does help with productivity speed, so its a trade off really

                        We used Visual Assist and stopped the intellisense, which kindof improved the performance for us and teh IDE woudl not go into 'thinking mode' that often

                          I have 14 in one solution, a mix of winforms apps, business object libraries, most in c#, some in VB.NET, one ASP.NET and it's pretty good, nothing like what you're describing, now VS.NET2005 is definitely painfully slow.

                                You're obviously not using SourceSafe for source control. It would take hours to open your solution if you were.

                                  I know what you mean. I always seem to end up within the "code police" faction of the team. Compiler warnings are relatively easy to erradicate, however. Lint issues are another matter - even code which compiles cleanly at warning level 4 can easily generate thousands of them. It does work, however. I've found some really subtle, nasty bugs by analysing lint analysis results.

                                    Not really, I find it difficult to manage multiple projects and only have them all in one solution because I need the .net references within the solution. If Microsoft could come up with a way to have multiple solutions and reference another solution then I'd break it down to far less.

                                    I don't use any add-in's so can't help you there. I have found however that using 3rd party components can cause all sorts of issues if the licenses file in the solution has anything after the final text in the file like a cr/lf combination or a space. Why that bug never got fixed I'll never know.
