VS 6 loading files VERY SLOW
-
Sorry...this is a VS 6, not VS.Net question, but I don't see a forum for VS 6. When I try to go from file to file in my workspace, VS often goes out to lunch for as long as 5 or more minutes often trying to load a file. It is a nightmare to try to go back and forth between files....having to wait 5 minutes for the file to open to put one line of code in. At first I thought it might be Hard drive problems, but the files come up fine and quickly in a text editor. I believe this may only be happening on this particular workspace, not other workspaces. Can you think of anything, workspace/environment related that would make files load VERY SLOW ?
There are only 10 types of people in this world....those that understand binary, and those that do not.

Ok...I believe I solved the problem...thought I'd post it back to the group in case it may enlighten anyone else someday. BE CAREFUL your workspace (dsw) files do not become corrupted. Unfortunately, VS doesn't seem to detect and/or warn you of "weird" dsw file. I had hdd problems last week and aparently the dsw file got corrupted. Since these workspace files go back and forth from computer to computer (whichever one I'm on) via version control system, it was giving the problem on whichever computer I was at. I deleted and started a new workspace and all is back to normal. Files load up as they should now.
