[RESOLVED] Building a project (VS2008 Compact .Net Framework / WM6) is very very slow

[belinea2003]

When I made a change in my program and build it again, to test my changes I must wait about 60 seconds and longer.

The most of time I spent for programming is lost for waiting.

Is it possible to speed up the building process? Is there a option (debug/final) that I misconfigured? Or is this Compact Framework stuff really sloooooooow?

I haven't worked in VS2008, and I doubt many people have. Have you done anything like this in an earlier version? I have worked in 2005 and 2003 with the CF without seeing the kind of slow you are seeing. I would say that in either case launching was slower than for a desktop app, but that's reasonable, since you are pushing the app across a (relatively) slow connection to a slow processor. However, I wouldn't put the time difference at more than ten to fifteen seconds or so. A full minute would be MIGHTY slow by comparison.

I have ported my project from VS2008 to VS2005 and everything is fine now.

VS2008 build time: approximate 60 seconds
VS2005 build time: 1 second

That's ominous.
