Slow typing in Visual Studio

Post by ic2 »

The last view times I worked briefly in X# I didn't have the problem, but now I have it too:

"We've noticed that extension 'XSharp Visual Studio Project System' is slowing typing performance."

I can add to this that Show completion list after a character is typed is switched off. It took seconds before some result of what I typed appeared. I reset VS and it worked again. Just like Kees noticed: it seems that it all works well for a while but after some time working it stops.

Any news about this?

(PS: using 2.7Fox + 2.7 a patch)

Hi Dick,

Yes, I know Robert has done a lot of work in this area, hopefully the improvements in the new build will make a big difference for you as well as for everybody else. It's not ready yet, but hopefully in the next weeks,

After I installed 2.10 I am experiencing this problem quite often. Most of the time VS would hang for few seconds. Few times it would last few minutes. I didn't experience this issue at all with 2.9.

Additional information. This long un-response issue occur when I put the mouse cursor at the end of a line with #IFDEF/#ENDIF and hit enter button. This is only happening for the latest version 2.10 for me.

Boonnam/Hansjoerg,

Does this problem happen with ALL #ifdef / #endif directives? Or is it with specific ones? Does it make a difference if the define actually exists or not?
Do they have to do with big source files, or is it a general problem? Maybe you could share a file where this happens?
Just trying to find a way to reproduce the problem, because I made several attempts here, also with relatively large projects and didn't manage so far.

TIA

I can send you a file. for me it seems to happen on every position in the file (650 lines) if I insert an #ifdef.

Hi Hansjoerg,

Thanks for the file, I could see the problem with it and have passed it to Robert for fixing.
